Simple, strong and light with long, hook ears to prevent the rope from sliding up and locking off. Dual tie-in holes keep the Stein Rescue 8 attached to the harness while the rope is tied to the carabiner reducing the possibility of dropping it from the tree. This is a multipurpose tool - the Stein Rescue 8 can be used as a rigging plate and the centre hole can also be used as a belay plate to lower branches. Large size soaks up rope friction heat.
