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.
