The GGG Ropewalker System

Please note: A complete GGG system is just that--an entire, safe, cave-ready ascending system. All our Ropewalkers include three ascenders, an anti-heelhang strap, and a seat harness.

The GGG Ropewalkers are Double Bungee systems, which were developed to efficiently climb long, non-technical drops like Sotano de las Golondrinas (335 meters) and Fantastic Pit (156 meters). The GGG Ropewalker consists of the GGG Ropewalker Chest Harness, a swivel pulley, a bungee with hooks, a Petzl Ascension as the top ascender, an adjustable ascender strap, a pair of foot loops, a Petzl Basic as the knee ascender, a Petzl Croll as the foot ascender, an anti-heelhang strap, and the GGG Caver Harness with a MR Half Moon Screwlink. The bungee cord hooks into the Croll, passes through the pulley at the chest harness then hooks back into the Basic at the knee. The Ascension rides at the top of the Simmon's Roller. The anti-heelhang strap connects the knee ascender to the waist so that it's impossible to become completely inverted even if both the chest harness AND the top ascender are taken off the rope. All the straps and the bungees adjust to fit almost anyone. Full systems also come with an instruction booklet and stuff sack.
