The Wild Country Ropeman 1 Ascender is a compact rope-adjustment device that has become a go-to upgrade for saddle hunters who want fast, one-handed adjustment of a compatible tree tether or lineman’s belt. The alloy cam keeps weight down, while the sprung sideplates make the device simple to place on the rope and the flat cam profile makes adjustment and release easy under light load. James River Archery stocks the Ropeman 1 in Orange.For saddle hunting, the Ropeman 1 is especially useful on a lineman’s belt, where quick rope adjustment can make climbing and positioning around the tree more efficient. It can also be used on a compatible tree tether. The Ropeman 1 is designed for 10–13mm rope, so rope diameter and compatibility should always be verified before use.BUILT FOR SADDLE HUNTING ROPE ADJUSTMENTA traditional friction hitch can require two hands or extra manipulation to adjust. When correctly installed on compatible rope, the Ropeman 1 gives saddle hunters a compact mechanical adjustment point for taking in or paying out rope on a tether or lineman’s belt.LIGHTWEIGHT ALLOY CAMThe Ropeman 1 uses an alloy cam to keep the device compact and lightweight. Hot-forged sideplates increase strength while maintaining a small profile that adds very little bulk to a mobile saddle hunting setup.10–13MM ROPE COMPATIBILITYThe Ropeman 1 is specified for use with 10mm to 13mm rope. This makes it well suited to many traditional saddle hunting tether and lineman rope systems, but it is not intended for smaller 8mm ropes. Hunters using an 8mm rope system should consider the Ropeman 4 Ascender, which supports an 8–13mm rope range.FEATURES Compact mechanical rope ascender for saddle hunting applications Ideal for compatible tree tether and lineman’s belt adjustment Hot-forged sideplates Lightweight alloy cam High-strength stainless steel axle Stainless steel cable leash Flat cam profile for easier release under light load Compatible with 10–13mm rope Tested to EN 567 standards Color - Orange SPECIFICATIONS Brand - Wild Country Model - Ropeman 1 Product Type - Rope Ascender / Rope Adjustment Device Saddle Hunting Use - Tree tether and lineman’s belt adjustment on compatible systems Rope Diameter - 10–13mm Cam - Alloy Sideplates - Hot forged Axle - High-strength stainless steel Standard - EN 567 Weight - Approximately 2 oz / 62g Color - Orange FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWhat is a Ropeman 1 used for in saddle hunting?The Ropeman 1 is commonly used as an adjustable connection on a compatible saddle hunting lineman’s belt or tree tether.
