Passes the BCCTR Rescue Belay Competence Drop Test Criteria*. Developed specfically to meet the needs of rescue sytem belays. The well-engineered Traverse 540° is a patented, self-locking, easy-to-rig device that meets demanding drop-test criteria: able to hold falling loads quickly while limiting the peak force. The symmetrical design reduces the risk of improper rigging. A built-in release lever discharges the tension on the belay rope, eliminating the need for a release hitch.

It adjusts from 3 ft (91 cm) to 7 ft (213 cm). The D-ring on one end is larger so the other end can pass through, allowing the strap to be rigged in a choker (girth hitch) configuration and still be adjusted. The high strength, quick adjustability and variable length make this strap a jack of all trades...
