As part of our Vertical Freedom in Rope Access Tour, we make 10 tour stops. SZP Pro Steph Kleiser will explain the application possibilities of our new products: a universal abseiling device and a moving fall arrester that sets new standards.

Intuitive handling and great versatility combined in a compact and lightweight design. That is the new MEGAWATT with only 495 g.

These days, you’d be hard pressed to find an outdoor enthusiast who’s a climate-change denier.

To get to climbing destinations, most of us require a car. To help save the planet during the climate emer- gency, we need more eco-friendly ways of getting about to pursue our hobbies.
