In lead rope soloing, you are your own belayer — which means you’re not just climbing the pitch… you’re actively thinking ahead about how every potential fall will load your system.
Are you climbing close to the anchor with minimal slack?
Or are you higher on the pitch, with rope drag building and more stretch coming into play?
Those two scenarios create completely different fall dynamics. By configuring your absorber assembly at the anchor, you can fine-tune how soft or firm your catch will feel in the event of a fall.
That’s exactly why we designed the Comfort Catch Lead Rope Solo Absorbers to be modular.
Instead of committing to a fixed setup, you can tune your system to the pitch in front of you:
Are you going to fall close to the anchor? Follow the calibration recommendations.
Do you expect to fall higher up with rope drag? Remove an absorber for a more comfortable catch.
Each absorber link works as part of a system — giving you the flexibility to refine how your setup responds to real-world climbing conditions, rather than forcing every pitch into a one-size-fits-all solution.
Lead rope soloing rewards thoughtful system design.
Small adjustments, like absorber configuration, can have a big impact on how controlled and comfortable your falls feel when things don’t go perfectly.
If you’re already refining your LRS setup or exploring more dynamic pitches, modular absorbers are one of the most effective ways to dial in performance without overcomplicating your rack.
PS: You probably want the Plush length! It is the best "daily-driver" for cragging. More absorption is usually better.
