Buying guide

What is featured here

Throw line and a throw weight set your climbing line in the canopy, and a thin, slick line with a bright color is easiest to manage. Short static rope hanks are handy for lanyards, anchors and practice systems. A continuous rope puller makes pulling trees and tensioning lines easier, and chainsaw pants protect the saw operator all day.

Check compatibility and ratings for anything used as life support or rigging, and follow ANSI Z133 and the manufacturer's instructions.

Common questions

What throw line should I start with?

A slick, bright, mid-diameter throw line pairs with a common throw weight for most climbers. Practice your throws before relying on it on a job.
