Notch Rope Runner Vertec


  • The Notch Rope Runner Vertec, developed in collaboration with Kevin Bingham, is an advanced climbing and work-positioning device engineered for professional arborists. Building on the proven performance of the Rope Runner Pro, the Vertec introduces tool-free friction adjustment, seven friction settings, and simplified midline attachment for smooth, controlled movement throughout the canopy.
  • Designed primarily for Stationary Rope System (SRS) climbing while also supporting Moving Rope System (MRS) configurations, the Vertec allows climbers to fine-tune friction without tools, including while working aloft. Its streamlined design eliminates slic pins and incorporates an integrated tending point for chest harness attachment, including compatibility with the Notch Magneato.
  • Developed with input from professional arborists, the Vertec offers improved rope tending, controlled ascent and descent, and versatility across a wide range of climbing configurations.
