  • Cell tower technicians . . .right on ! ! ! I just hate the fisk unless using it single stranded . . . .no fun other wise. .. if you get a chance go peep my video TOOT IT AND BOOT IT in a sala exo fit . . .you might hate it .

  • @yourshitjusthitmyfan Low,slow and in control for me.Fun isn't allowed at my work.Watched your vid....Funny,but I could only watch it once or I'd have to turn in my man card.

  • Hey I do this off of high rises for a living. And I'm curious as to what type of grab you have there?

  • FP Pro Rope Grab with Dyna-Brake shock absorbing lanyard, 3 length.

  • the hardest part i think is to learn to trust all your gear

  • Know your gear,take care of it,inspect it and use it properly within its design limits.Once you know your gear and use it,you can begin to know yourself and always have a healthy respect for gravity.

  • The Fisk Descender is similar to the figure 8.The fisk has a large rope surface contact area:about 20".We use it for controlled descent on the outside of office buildings and tower work including tower rescue.The Fisk is durable,easy to use-can be rigged for speed or slow controlled descent,made of stainless steel and runs about $150.
