This is part three of the top tools every climber needs. We've covered saddles, climbing lines, a climbing system, loop runners, carabiners, foot ascenders, lanyards, and helmets, handsaws.

Arborists began to see the functionality of small pulleys integrated into climbing systems some time ago. What started out as using whatever was available has developed into a full-blown category of must-have micro pulleys.

The latest entry into this unique class is the vision of devoted climber and passionate SHERRILLtree past employee Brandon Nance, brought to life by Rock Exotica: the Rook.


The ROOK can be used as a prusik minding pulley, on a lanyard or flipline, on a rope bridge, or even as a redirect. Made for lines up to a half-inch. An intrinsic swivel is designed for any situation to maintain whatever alignment you require. Three connection points turn this into a tool of many options and uses. Use on a rope bridge, or as a prusik-minding pulley, or on a lanyard/flipline, or even as a redirect. The possibilities are yours to discover.
