ANSI Z359.1 Compliant Anchorage Connector
Designed by Reed Thorne of Ropes That Rescue, Azzards provide quick connections to towers and other structures when protecting an ascent using a lead climbing technique. The unique design allows quick, one-handed attachment to the structure for maximum security when placing belay protection. The custom designed aluminum ring reduces weight and provides a wide, smooth bearing surface for the rope. The one-inch web, has red wear indicators for easy inspection. The double-locking carabiner gate can be opened with one hand. Exceeds OSHA minimum strength requirement of 5,000 pounds.

Azzard Delta Connector CMC instructors suggested a special version of the Azzard that could accept a pulley when used as the top connector on the tower. The Delta Connector has a D shaped screw link that can be opened to install hardware.
