Edelrid TreeRex Replacement Rope Bridge Kit

The Edelrid TreeRex replacement rope bridge kit lets you swap a worn bridge on your TreeRex saddle. Bridges are wear parts, and a new one keeps the saddle working without replacing the whole thing.

Why bridges get replaced

Your climbing system rides on the bridge all day. Sawdust, grit and constant movement wear it, so it is designed to be swapped long before the rest of the saddle.

Keep a spare kit in the truck so a worn bridge never puts the saddle out of service in the middle of a job.

A rope bridge also shows wear in ways that are easy to see if you look. Watch for fuzzing, flat spots, glazed patches from heat and stiffness where the connector rides most. Changing the bridge yourself is a good time to clean the saddle and look over the rest of it, including the attachment points the bridge runs through. Keep notes on how long each bridge lasts so you can plan the next one before you need it, and keep the old one out of the climbing kit so it is never mixed up with the new.

Fitting and inspection

Fit the bridge exactly as Edelrid shows for the TreeRex and check any knots or connections before loading it. Hang on it near the ground before climbing.

Inspect the bridge before every climb for abrasion, glazing, cuts and stiffness, and replace it at the first sign of wear. Saddles are life support, so use one within the maker's instructions and ANSI Z133 practice, inspect it before every climb and get trained. See more saddle parts.
