This is one of the most talked-about climbing tools in recent years! Rock Exotica has made the creation of arborist Jamie Merritt available to the masses, using precision aluminum milling to create this ascent/descent device that can be used for DRT and SRT climbing. The Akimbo is easily mid-line attachable and the level of friction can be adjusted without any tools.

Review by CONNOR R. on 11 Apr 2024 review stating I love my akimbo! The
I love my akimbo! The simple mid-line attach-ability makes setting redirects and isolating my line super easy. The akimbo is super compact which makes slack tending and repelling on limb walks smooth like silk. The friction settings on the bollards are also a breeze to adjust on the fly. Highly recommend!
