About CMI

CMI builds gear with roots in rescue work, where hardware has to be simple and tough. For tree work, CMI anchor slings are a common way to set a basal or canopy anchor, and their pulleys and rope grabs fit into climbing and haul systems.

Check ratings and rope compatibility for every piece, follow the manufacturer's instructions, and inspect slings and hardware before every use.
