The upgraded Rope Runner Vertec EVO was redesigned based on user feedback to deliver smoother tending and broader gear compatibility. Its improved geometry now works perfectly with larger HMS carabiners and ropes from 11 to 12.9 mm in diameter – without compromising safety or performance.
The lower bridge attachment point has been reshaped to reduce friction and provide more space, ensuring an exceptionally smooth rope flow.
