Rope Runner Vertec Kit: Dare to Defy GRAVITY! What's in the kit: The Defying Gravity Kit pairs the Notch Rope Runner Vertec — a mechanical climbing device with tool-free, on-the-fly friction adjustment for both SRS and MRS — with 200' of Teufelberger Gravity 11.5mm climbing rope (spliced eye), the Notch MagneatO magnetic slack-tending attachment, and a Notch Quickie for fast anchor building. An optional Notch Aeris Friction Body Kit upgrade adds a pulley for even smoother slack tending. The Rope Runner has gone through its evolutionary phases — beginning as the original Singing Tree Rope Runner, progressing to the Rope Runner Pro, and now arriving at what seems like its final form: the Rope Runner Vertec. This latest rendition gives the climbing arborist the ability to adjust friction on the fly WITHOUT the need for additional tools! That feature alone was enough to make it great — but what would make it even better, you might ask!? Well, by creating the ideal tree climbing kit for the Notch Rope Runner Vertec, of course! That's why our Defying Gravity Kit pairs it with an exceptional arborist climbing rope from Teufelberger: Gravity. Dare to Defy Gravity even further!? Add on the Notch Aeris Friction Body Kit and take your tree climbing experience to the next level! Slack tending gets easier, and rope fairleads into the device more smoothly after dropping through a redirect — all thanks to the pulley on the Aeris! Ready to climb?
