Abstract
A rope restraining and selective release device is provided that may be incorporated with a carabiner or other device for selective interconnection to an anchor. The device employs a selectively rotatable cam lever with a plurality of teeth and gripping geometry that cooperates with the corresponding geometry in a rope cradle to restrain a rope. Tension in the rope will allow it to pass through the device in one direction, but tension in the opposite direction will prevent rope movement through the device.
