Product description

Get the best of the original SAKA and the best of the SAKA Mini in the SAKA-mini-MAX! This floating knee ascender is the most versatile and efficient available. Climb with your SAKA mini-MAX v2 as a mini or as the MAX, and take your tree-climbing to the next level!

New to V2, the tether no longer velcros around the bungee.

The SAKA mini-MAX v2 uses the same great ascender as the original SAKA, with progressive tooth pattern and a rope friendly spring. Will work on common Arborist Climbing Rope sizes, from 9mm to 13mm.

Super-stretch bungee with Dyneema cover & solid rubber core improves performance and wear-resistance
Non-load-bearing doubled bungee stiff tether for quick rebound and easy bungee replacement on the MAX
The load-bearing tether is adjustable to meet any reasonable stride or climbing conditions
Elastic ‘sock’ on the tether stows away excess bungee cord
The mini-MAX is easily stored; the mini is so compact it can be carried in a pocket!
Weighs only 10oz!
