THE TOTEM
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.
CANYONEERING KARMA
This project exists to serve;
Canyoneering Karma is a community, a podcast, a social media group, and more. It is also the theme for a series of ongoing service projects and it is a mindset – using canyoneering as a vehicle for making a difference in the lives of people.
Canyons are magical places of stone and water that captivate and inspire visitors. Canyoneering is an adventure sport that involves descending canyons by hiking, wading, swimming, climbing and rappelling – often over spectacular waterfalls. It is common for those who experience it to realize profound changes in the way they relate to the natural world and how they choose to live their lives. #canyoneeringkarma
