Ropetek Wraptor - what a ride

[caleb miller]

Battery seems to be good for about 3 80' accents I guesse I could buy another battery but 1 is enough for me

Slightly slower than rope tech

I had a video on you tube but i thought that may be a bad idea if i ever wanted to manufacture more and sell them so I took it down, going to work on a newer better version this winter

Problems have been finding proper rope , only works on half inch wish it worked on smaller diameter climbing ropes, also pulley started slipping as it became polished after use, and also the drive shaft pressed into pulley has now started slipping need a key way probably

I like the handlebars on the rope tech better also i believe it was also mid line attachable only used one once though

Sounds like a $450 work in progress.... but i'm sure ropetek had the same deal....now getting it done for $2600 a piece.

worth much more than that in the overall picture. went up on mine yesterday 6 times in little more than a half days work made shorter by it.

We don't have one but I see such potential in improving safety. Storm work last week with lots of rigging points and end of the day you can see climbers tired and taking risks as they just don't have the gas to go up and change anything in the setup.
