A rope grab device for a portable power driven system adapted for advancing a rope includes an essentially circular rope grab, wherein the rope grab is adapted to, during operation, engage the rope along at least a section of a circumference of the rope grab. The rope grab device also includes a securing device comprising a leaver portion, a first roller arranged at one end of the leaver portion for guiding an unloaded end of the rope and an anchoring point arranged at the opposite end of the leaver portion adapted for receiving an anchoring force from a load connectable to the portable power driven system. The leaver portion is attached with a hinged connection arranged between the one end and the opposite end to the rope grab device and is adapted to, by means of the first roller, exert a pressure to the rope for forcing the roped towards the rope grab at a portion of the section where the rope, during operation, is engaging the rope grab upon applying the anchoring force on the anchoring point.

A rope anchor with a J-shaped a body having a hook and spine. The end of the spine has an attachment hole for a rope and an elongated, teardrop-shaped rope slot that is either enclosed or gated. The gate is biased closed to span the open side of the rope slot and pushed opened to allow access for a rope. A tip, composed of a flat chip of metallic material, fits into a slot at the end of the hook. The tip is generally triangular with two or three sharp corners, or square or rectangular with four sharp corners. The slot orients the tip so that only one of the sharp corners is exposed, or so that two adjacent sharp corners are exposed. When an exposed sharp corner is not suitable for use, the tip can be reoriented to expose a different sharp corner.

A rope edge protector for protecting a rope as is passes over an edge during rope access and rope rescue is described. The rope edge protector comprises a body with a curved channel portion on an outer surface configured to receive at least one rope, wherein the channel portion is enclosed by a pair of side walls; a first underside surface configured for placement on a first face of an edge; and a second underside surface forming a dihedral angle with the first underside surface and configured for placement on a second face of an edge. An attachment mechanism comprising a strap connects the body to a second body and to a cam for tensioning the strap between the bodies to secure the bodies to opposing edges.
