Akimbo²

The Rock Exotica Akimbo² is a mid-line attachable arborist climbing device designed for efficient ascent, descent, and positioning on both SRS and MRS systems.
•    Compatible with arborist climbing line between 11.5–12.7 mm — no more restricted rope lists!
•    Replaceable components to extend the product's service life
•    Multiple tending options for added versatility
•    Enhanced internal design for smoother rope interaction

The Akimbo² is the second iteration of the popular mid-line-attachable climbing device for tree care. Like the original, the Akimbo² allows you to position, ascend and descend in stationary or moving rope systems (SRS or MRS) without additional equipment or detaching from your harness.

Adjustable friction settings optimize performance on ropes ranging from 11.5 mm to 12.7 mm, all without tools and without an approved ropes list. The new Akimbo² also features an additional SRS tending option, as well as modifications for improved performance on rope and replaceable components that extend service life.
