The UAK-1 comes complete with the following:

If you need additional components for a larger course, ask us about the UAK-2 and UAK-3.

• Misty Mountain Easy Seat - a specialized rigid yet padded seat that has an integrated rated harness system allowing lower body support without sacrificing upper body mobility.

• Handlebar Ascender (Wellman pull-up bar or similar)  - a traditional ascender mechanism that will grab the rope with the integrated cam while also providing a variety of hand hold options including the built in handlebars.
  
• 1M Mechanical Advantage System (Petzl JAG or similar) - this compact system provides mechanical advantage at your fingertips when climbing at height and needing assistance transferring from one cable to the other. 
  
  
• Trolley w/ anti-rollback cam (ISC Zippy or similar) - this trolley allows for smooth forward movement on a course and option to sit in the system and take a break without losing forward momentum.
  
  
• Bosun chair (Petzl Podium or similar) - a rigid chair that is stowed out of the way on the climber and dropped into position at any point along the climb as an extra seat providing quick lower body support and resting spot.
  
  
• ISC R-ALF Pulley System - this system creates a 5:1 mechanical advantage with integrated locking hub option for those climbers who need assistance ascending vertically into a course. It includes everything needed for the full system including the R-ALF hub, two double pulleys, rope, carabiners and a handy storage bag.

The KAA is a self contained mechanical advantage system for tensioning lines or lifting people during rescues. In addition, as the KAA is certified to EN 354, it can be used for workplace stabilization, as a restraint system (open/closed), and for controlled lowering. Its strap-based construction makes it the most compact and lightweight system on the market. Depending on the orientation, it offers a 4:1 or 5:1 lifting ratio with an efficiency of 91%. The KAA is packaged compactly and ready for immediate use, so that no valuable time is lost when it is required. A swivel is provided at each end to prevent the system from twisting. The hand lever on the draw cord makes it easier to pull and can also be used as a lowering lever.
