The ISC Chipmunk Flex Tether is engineered for professional arborists seeking a more compact and efficient Single Rope Technique (SRT) climbing system. Measuring 9 inches (225 mm), it is 3 inches shorter than the original ISC Squirrel Flex Tether, allowing climbers to reduce overall system height and maximize working space above the climbing device. A lower-profile climbing system provides greater freedom of movement, enabling longer arm reaches and more efficient ascents while maintaining excellent rope control. Constructed from high-strength rope with an advanced polymer over-mold, the Chipmunk delivers an ideal balance of rigidity and flexibility. The semi-rigid design keeps the climbing device properly positioned while still allowing enough movement for smooth operation during ascent and positioning. The sewn eye terminations securely hold compatible carabiners in place, helping maintain system alignment and reducing unwanted movement. A central attachment point allows easy connection to a chest harness using the included ISC KL100 Accessory Karabiner, making it an excellent choice for modern SRT configurations. Designed to meet the demands of professional tree care, the Chipmunk Flex Tether is ANSI Z133 compliant, providing dependable performance for daily climbing applications.
