CMC will present its newest rescue innovations along with popular favorites at FDIC 2025. Visitors will be able to use our newest solutions for twin tension rope systems (TTRS) including SWIVO, CAPTO, SQUID, G11 and CMC CLUTCH by Harken. Guests are invited to see first-hand how this integrated system provides smooth and efficient raising and lowering. In addition, demos will be available for the LEVR Escape System featuring the Flash.G and Flash.2 Escape Anchors, the extremely comfortable and customizable ATOM Harness, the new CMC T95 backcountry rescue rope, and more!
SWIVO
The perfect match for CAPTO! SWIVO is a combination swivel, pulley, and oval carabiner that is
compatible with devices that have wide attachment points. The rounded oval frame promotes even load distribution and reduces the risk of binding. SWIVO’s three integrated components make it quick and easy to use for building compact mechanical advantage systems. When paired with CAPTO, SWIVO further increases safety and efficiency for hauling and ascending.
CAPTO
CAPTO is an intuitive device that combines a multi-functional rope grab, high-efficiency pulley, and integrated becket for easy hauling and ascending. Built around an innovative V-groove Cam, CAPTO is designed to handle rescue loads while providing force-limiting overload protection. CAPTO is available in gray for 10.5-11 mm (7/16 in) rope and red for 12.5-13 mm (1/2 in) rope. Both models are certified to NFPA General Use.
SQUID
The SQUID’s unique shaped design features a large attachment point for redundant anchoring and two perpendicular points for optimal alignment. SQUID efficiently brings two hardware devices side-by-side for dual operation and better-shared tension. SQUID also sets ideal spacing between devices, allowing a single operator to maintain simultaneous twin tension control using dual-handle technique.
CMC CLUTCH by Harken
The CLUTCH is the latest evolution in rope hardware that allows the technical rope professional to do more with less. Developed with Harken, the CLUTCH is a single versatile tool for efficient hauling, controlled lowering, smooth personal descent, easy ascending, belaying, and TTRS. Available in 13 mm and 11 mm models, the CLUTCH moves seamlessly between anchor-based systems and personal use. Both models are certified to NFPA General Use and ANSI.
ATOM Harness
The ATOM Series, our most comfortable harness line, incorporates improved architecture, ergonomic lightweight padding, intuitive new features, and a range of options that can fit every user. The Build Your Own online tool allows you to design an ATOM harness to your unique needs and specifications. Choose from a multitude of options to create your optimal harness system. Stop by our booth to try on the ATOM Harness and use our Build Your Own online tool.
LEVR Escape Systems
Designed to assure rapid emergency egress with safe, controllable descent, the LEVR Escape System is built around the CMC LEVR descender, a next-generation device that uses its lever-shaped handle for progressive descent control, fast and easy horizontal pay-out, reliable edge transition, and intuitive operation. The LEVR Escape System is available with two anchor options, Flash.G and Flash.2, both certified to NFPA standards as emergency escape anchors and escape descent control devices. The LEVR BT Escape System allows advanced users to lower a victim before lowering themselves in a sequence referred to as the Byrne Technique. Purpose-built for efficient execution, and stowed in a compact, dual-sided deployment bag, this system makes it possible to save more than one life during emergency escape situations.
CMC T95
Named for its lightweight, low volume 9.5 mm diameter, this NFPA Technical Use rope is strong, abrasion resistant, and heat tolerant. T95 is constructed with a Technora sheath and nylon core for low elongation, smooth handling, and excellent durability. Designed for the rigors of backcountry rescue, T95 features sewn terms for quick, high strength attachments; two tracer options for distinguishing each rope in a system; and outstanding overall performance.
Additional Highlights
Along with our new line of products, CMC will provide customer favorites for hands-on demos, including the SL Anchor Straps, RigTech Pack™, CMC MPD™, CSR2 Pulley System™, Arizona Vortex, Texora Slings, and AZTEK ProSeries™ System. The ATOM and Outback Harnesses will also be available for visitors to try on.
