Rock Exotica Akimbo² Belay Device

Rock Exotica Akimbo² Belay Device

The Rock Exotica Akimbo² Belay Device is a highly versatile climbing tool designed for professional arborists seeking efficiency and control in both stationary and moving rope systems. Engineered to handle ascent, descent and work positioning without the need for additional devices, it allows seamless transitions between SRS and MRS climbing styles. Its compact and adaptable design supports streamlined climbing setups while maintaining consistent performance across a range of conditions.

Dual System Compatibility for Versatile Climbing

The Akimbo² is designed to operate on both stationary rope systems and moving rope systems, allowing climbers to switch techniques without changing equipment. This flexibility supports a more efficient workflow in the canopy, reducing the need for multiple devices and simplifying system setup during complex climbing tasks.

Tool-Free Adjustment for Rope and Friction Control

The device features adjustable upper and lower bollards that can be set without tools to suit rope diameters from 11.5 mm to 12.7 mm. These adjustments also allow users to fine-tune friction levels based on climber weight, rope condition and environmental factors. This ensures consistent handling and controlled performance across different working situations.

Compact Design with Serviceable Components

The Akimbo² opens easily for mid-line installation and removal, then compresses into a compact form both on and off the rope. It includes an additional SRS tending option and auxiliary connection points for use with a chest harness when climbing on stationary rope. Replaceable components extend the service life of the device, supporting long-term reliability in professional use.
