Hubert Kowalewski has advised its the end-of-the-line for the popular ART Ropeguide '07. A replacement rope saver is due for launch in November - ART Ropeguide '10 perhaps?
We don't have much detail but the current ART Ropeguide '07 will cease production sometime during October.ART (Advanced Rope Technology) were one of the first tree climbing companies to introduce pulley-based frictionless rope savers to the market. They wenton to pretty much set the standard for this type of equipment.
It will be interesting to see if there is a hard-eye replacement or whether ART will concentrate on the soft-eye Ropeguide Primus.
Treetools keep you posted as more detail comes to hand!
