Back It Up
If the belay device is the back-up for your falling body, then the Sterling 6mm Auto Block is the back-up for your back-up. Essentially a 13.5-inch line that’s been looped together, Sterling’s Auto Block connects climbing harnesses to the brake-hand end of climbing ropes for extra security on rappels. Replace your worn-out prusiks and makeshift Klemheists with this beautiful Auto Block from Sterling.
