Ropeman 4 Ascender
- For use with 8-13mm ropes
- Works with Tethrd carabiners
- Comes in any color as long as its black
The Ropeman 4 is the latest, innovative evolution of the original Wild Country ascender. This compact rope clamp covers a wide range of technical applications, including emergency rescue, self-rescue, ascending, self-belay and positioning lanyard adjustment. The new, improved side plate grooved closure mechanism prevents lateral sideplate opening when ascending a rope, and ensures that no rope gets stuck between the sideplate and the cam, making it more efficient and safer than comparable devices.
Made from lightweight, strong aluminum alloy and designed to work with a wide range of rope diameters, it also works with flat and tubular webbing slings and is compatible with HMS and oval carabiners. The ample cylinder hole design allows full rotation of the device around the carabiner.
The strong stainless steel wire is covered with a durable plastic sheath for safe and easy handling. The Ropeman 4’s small, lightweight design makes it easy to carry one on your harness at all times. An essential piece of gear for all vertical adventures.

Customer Reviews
Getting my saddle system all ready for the upcoming MN Rifle season, I did a lot of research, and determined that some form of ascender was needed for my lineman belt. There were no reviews for the Ropeman 4's but looking at the specs online it seemed like the logical purchase, so I ordered two, one for my tether and one for my lineman. Products showed up right on time, the Ropeman 4's were actually that burnt orange color instead of the black, which I actually like. They look good and work great with the Tethrd lineman belt and tether ropes. Overall I'd say they are well worth their money, and will make my climbing (going up and coming down) significantly easier. Especially with the lineman belt I think this is a must-have for ease and safety. Good work and great product offering!
