Petzl Rescucender- A unique mechanical rope grab device,
originally developed by Rock Exotica, with a curved cam
interface between the machined shell and cam that increases
the area of contact with the host rope, which greatly reduces the
likelihood of damaging the host rope during a shock force. The
Rescucender (Figure 52) operates with ropes 9mm-13mm in
diameter; however 10mm is the minimum recommended by the
manufacturer, where the risk of fall exists. Figure 52- Petzl

RIGGING PLATES

The focal point of anchor system can be kept organized with the use of a rigging plate.
This simplifies multiple tasks or connections occurring at a single location and helps to
keep lines orderly (Figure 53). Rock Exotica began production of the first widely
available rigging plates around 1990, which are CNC
(Computer Numeric Controlled) milled with rounded
46
edges. Numerous sizes of rigging plates are now
commercially available, providing numerous
connection point configuration to meet different needs
(Figure 54). Rig plates are tested and rated between
two holes. Do not exceed the safe working load of a
single hole with rigging. Shifting equipment, particularly
when tension is released and then reestablished,
creates the potential for a rigging plate to lever against
a carabiner, causing failure. Be aware of this
hazardous scenario and keep a watchful eye on all
rigging during use. Figure 53- Rigging Plate. Keeps
multiple connections organized.
