ABSTRACT:
A self-wedging, variable thickness climbing aid for rock climbing. The device includes a wedge-shaped chock to which an anchor cable is affixed with that cable extending from the thin end of the chock with an anchor loop on that end. A roller is attached adjacent one of the broad faces of the chock by means of springs between the ends of the roller and the adjacent sides of the chock. Further, a release cable is attached to each end of the roller for the user to draw the roller down the face of the chock to thin the overall device to permit its insertion or removal from a crack in the rock.
