Vertical Art Dance is an authorized distributor of rock exotica products
We have hand-picked the Rock Exotica gear most suitable for the unique rigging needs of aerial arts!
The rockO 3-stage Auto-Lock is a blend of the traditional oval and the rockD giving it more strength than the standard oval. This design is great for users that need extra room at the bottom of the carabiner while keeping their gear aligned.
Autolocking or selflocking carabiners have a spring-loaded barrel that closes over the gate when released. This type of locking carabiner offers a little more security in the system over screwgate carabiners, but all carabiners should be second checked.
Available in purple or black.

As an HMS, or pear-shaped carabiner, the Pirate easily accommodates the use of a wide range of gear, webbing or ropes - either as a belay biner at the harness, or as a connector in a system. The Pirate's robust 0.5" diameter round frame will endure abuse from dirty ropes and metal connectors far beyond stamped carabiners with thin edges. The Pirate's durability matched with Rock Exotica's build quality ensures an impressive service life for the working professional or recreational enthusiast.
The Machined Mini and Rescue Pulleys are designed and manufactured like no other pulley in the world. Starting as a block of solid T6 aluminum, the sideplates for the pulley are milled in such a way as to leave material where it's needed most for strength.

This smaller, compact, low profile swivel is ideal for special uses where a smooth form, minimum size and minimum weight are required.
The Rock Exotica Shackle Swivel saves valuable headspace by allowing you to connect webbing, eyes or thimbles directly to the swivel without a carabiner. The steel shackle bolt (.375" 9.5mm diameter) will also increase the longevity of the swivel when connected to steel carabiners or other steel components.
