Whether you call them friction savers, a false crotch, or a cambium saver, they all do the same thing - protect trees from potential wounds created by your climbing line, which also greatly extends the life of your rope. There are many different types, but there is no question about their increasing popularity in both professional and recreational tree climbing. In this video, Nick looks at friction savers, discusses the differences and specialist models available, and shows us what he calls the "Mack Daddy" of all friction savers.
