SRTE 16mm Goldtail
Suits 9-16mm rope (3 hole).
Made from extruded aluminium with stainless steel hardware.
Goldtails are primarily used for descending, however they are increasingly being used in hauling systems for belaying. SRTE goldtails can be used for single or double rope up to 13mm.
Friction on the SRTE goldtail is controlled by winding the rope through the appropriate number of slots. Friction can be varied while rappelling by increasing or decreasing the number of slots the rope goes through. For added protection all slots have gates to prevent the rope from coming out accidentally. The SRTE goldtails incorporate massive heat sink, any heat generated from descending is channeled away from the bars and dispersed in the spine-ideal for long descents.
Rescue models have a 6mm hole in the body. This hole allows you to thread an accessory cord through to attach to your karabiner and during multiple lowering or raising situations there is no need to re-rig the goldtail as you can simply turn the unit upside down, hence the rope is now on the correct side.
