Abstract: A Powerclimb is a powered rope climbing devise used to pull a climber directly up a rope safely and quickly requiring little effort on the part of the climber. In the same way, the Powerclimb can also be used by a climber to go down a rope. This is accomplished using a power source, variable-speed switch, gearing, an ascender with a releasing devise, one powered grooved roller and a combination of two guide rollers and a rope paw.
