The ESCAPER rappel system allows you to rappel down a single strand of rope and then retrieve it. It works with all ropes with a diameter greater than 7.3mm. Compact and quick to install, its textile construction also makes it very light. We strongly advise familiarizing yourself with its use before your first outing. It then becomes the essential equipment for all mountain enthusiasts!
There are there key differences between the ESCAPER and a Fiddle Stick.
Main Use: The Beal Escaper is generally for single-rope rappels in climbing scenarios, while the Fiddle Stick is focused on ghosting in canyoneering.
Design & Function: The Escaper uses a friction system to hold the rope in place, whereas the Fiddle Stick relies on a mechanical release of the anchor.
Risk Profile: The Fiddle Stick requires more technical skill and is generally considered riskier, while the Beal Escaper is designed for simpler, more versatile rappels but can still have risks if misused.
Both tools are valuable for specific contexts, but they serve different needs and require different levels of expertise.
