The original Totem is the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of rigging devices. Deceptively simple looking, the Totem is remarkably versatile. Use it for belaying, releasable rigging and hauling systems, or as a rigging plate. Use it for rappelling – it’s simple to add friction mid-rappel and simple to lock off. You can even ascend with it.

Designed by ART of RopeWork instructor Rich Carlson and produced by Rock Exotica, the Totem is available worldwide through your local Rock Exotica dealer or directly from Rock Exotica.
