Handle with ergonomic grip for comfort and thermal insulation. Trigger cam with teeth and cleaning slot: works even on dirty or icy ropes. Ergonomic spring-loaded catch is easy to use even when wearing gloves. Spring-loaded catch can be locked in the open position so the rope clamp can be put on or taken off the rope with one hand. Two holes on the bottom: one to connect a lanyard and one for installing a foot loop with a quick link. The upper holes allow a carabiner to be clipped so the rope clamp can be used for self-belaying or with hauling systems.
