Care and maintenance
Keep in mind that everything wears over time. Before and after each
use, check for damages to the rings, cords, and anchor points. Check
that rope sheath has no fraying. If signs of wear replace the cord. If
there is any concern about the condition of this product, stop using it
immediately.
Keep your V-Rings in a dry environment and not exposed to direct
sunlight or heat. Avoid all contact with chemicals which can destroy
the product. Cleaning can be performed with soap and water if you
dry it immediately upon finished cleaning. Cleaning can also be done
by lightly sanding the rings with sandpaper.
Each ring is supplied with a 750mm long 4mm accessory cord,
conforming to the requirements of UIAA and EN564.
Tying the double overhand stop knots
The rings have knot positions marked on the correct side of the holes.
Tighten the knots by pulling with your body weight.
Tying the overhand loop
To set your Duck Rings up for using the
ice tool grip, adjust the position of the
loop and adapt the grip to various ice
tool geometries. Here is illustrated the
most common ice tools measure.
If you don’t want to use the ice tool
grip, shorten the cord accordingly.
Hang the Duck Rings
Connect the Duck Rings to solid anchor
points by using carabiners and slings or
hook them directly to pigtail hooks.
When using the ice tool grip the rings
have to be connected through the
overhand loop.
Duck Rings™ training grips are the climbers’ version of traditional
gymnastic rings. They are designed to provide a compact, lightweight
and stable means of rock and alpine climbing specific training.
Portable
functional as a hang- board
and with the size of a gym
ring.
Versatile
a wide variety of grips
allows to train almost any
grip position.
Natural
the high-quality plywood
gives a unique natural look
and feeling.
Stable
The grips self-stabilize, so
the more load you apply,
the more stable they get.
Instructions
Connect the grips to solid anchor points (such as carabiner or hooks)
that can withstand the desired load. Positioned them near the height
of your total body extension, shoulder width apart from each other.
To simulate a diverse range of climbing situations and to adjust
resistance, consider using different grip positions on each arm.
