Rock Exotica just confirmed they are going to run a one time production of the Silent Partner. I am honestly in shock that we actually pulled this off and secured a safer way for us to get on the wall. Keep an eye on their site for the ordering process …

Over the years, rock climbing has always been viewed as an activity done with partners. This exciting and fast growing sport is now burdened with many challenges. The problems we climbers face, as you can probably guess, is finding partners. Even on days where we're ready and willing to climb at our favorite crag, our go-to partner can call out sick on us and we're left empty handed. The ongoing covid-19 pandemic has also been making matters worse for meeting people to climb with. There is a solution to this that is often considered left fielded in climbing, but can be made safer with the right equipment and know-how. Rock Exotica started making their famous rope solo device named the "Silent Partner" back in 1989 to make rope soloing a safer practice. This device has since been discontinued and the only way to find them is through ebay for an average price of $1000. To save people's lives, pockets and to make rope soloing a safer practice, we are asking for Rock Exotica to make a one time batch of their Silent Partner rope solo device which is considered their best all around device. Our goal is to reach at least 3000 signatures for Rock Exotica to begin a one time production. If interested, please sign and share this amongst friends and family!

I have been spending my time lately reaching out to climbing gear experts to better understand how we can present our case directly to the team at Rock Exotica. The stories many of you have shared about being stuck on the ground due to a lack of partners remind me exactly why I started this search for a solution.

Seeing this kind of momentum reminds me why I started this search in the first place. My own gear is wearing thin and knowing I am not the only one feeling this frustration gives me real hope that Rock Exotica will listen.

Hello, SP is needed for LRS, especially in Covid times, when due to restrictions you can't climb with partner. One time batch is a nice idea. Maybe demand will be even more

We need this, I can’t say how many times I’ve looked at that $1000 price tag and thought maybe, if it was a somewhat reasonable price I would easily have one by now
