The Totem is the Swiss Army Knife of rappelling and rigging devices. Deceptively simple-looking, the Totem is remarkably versatile. Use it for rappelling -- it's simple to add friction mid-rappel and simple to lock off. You can also use it for ascending, belaying, releasable rigging systems and hauling systems. Weight: 4.5 oz (128 gm) Height: 7.5” (190 mm) Width: 2.5” (64 mm) Max Rope Diameter (Single Rope): 13 Max Rope Diameter (Double Rope): 10.5

Very versatile descender
I use this mainly for recreative rappeling and tree climbing as well. It's awesome, so many use modes that can be configured, quite a nice tool to keep in my harness at all times!

Worked like a charm!
Really good product, very well made and useful for descending and belaying, all in 1 device. Feels great and I used it canyoneering. Its a bit large and clunky, but I felt comfortable with it, and it functioned very well and was reliable. I love the color and feel of it.

Its a jack of all trades, master of none appliance.
I have mixed feeling about the Totem. I have invested hours into understanding the dozens of ways it can be used in canyoneering scenarios. It is an incredibly versatile device and so I often carry it with me as a backup. On the other hand, it is not KISSy and can seem unnecessarily complex. Its not my go-to for anything but there are scenarios where I like having it on my harness.

Awesome, I've been using it in SoCal and Utah ...
Awesome, I've been using it in SoCal and Utah canyons for a few years now and the Totem is absolutely amazing! Super versitile. Definitely seek out training to learn all the various ways to use it.

Like no other
If you know you know. If you don't know, get this thing and use it. Amazingly simple design that incorporates 4-5 devices into one. Be careful though- they're addictive.

Great for canyoneering!
Our primary releasable contingency in the canyons. If someone gets something caught in their rappel device, you can safely lower them down.

Not for beginners.
Good construction. Has no instructions! Complicated to use. MUST practice before you go out. Go to the “canyons and crags” YouTube channel for demonstration.
