This means you no longer need a cumbersome attachment with a Prusik sling /. cordalette more. With the Croco, fastening is quick and easy!
This fixation from Beal can of course also be used for all other rope protectors. In addition, the Croco can of course continue to be used even if the rope protector itself needs to be replaced.

Rope protection bracket Beal Croco for rope protection on sharp edges
Sharp edges are the most objective source of danger for ropes. On the one hand, when rappelling from above on building or rock edges. On the other hand, when ascending on fixed ropes. For example, when bolting a climbing route and during speleology. All situations require appropriate protection of the rope. Both the protective sheath and the load-bearing core. The protector holder helps to keep the rope protection in position!
“Creeping” thrashing
Less attention is often paid to “creeping friction” on smooth rock surfaces. But here too, dangerous wear can occur. For example, if a rope slips back and forth very often under load on the rock. In this case, the Beal Croco rope protection holder is also a necessary measure to secure the rope protector.
Redundant working!
We recommend that everyone works redundantly during the relevant activities. This means installing a second safety rope as additional fall protection. Firstly, the redundant lifeline is attached to an independent anchor point. Of course, it is also additionally backed up! Secondly, it is then connected to a traveling rope brake and shock absorber on the redundant safety rope. The Beal Croco rope protection bracket can be extremely helpful for both ropes.
Practice tip
We recommend that you always have 2-3 rope protectors in your gear. This is the only way to protect the primary rope or the redundant rope. Or you always have another rope protector in reserve.
