DMM Tryggr Thimble Vario - Adjustable Retrievable Anchor - 70cm to 250cm - EN 795:2012 Type B

The DMM Tryggr Thimble Vario is an adjustable, retrievable choking anchor for both stationary and moving rope anchor applications. Where the compact standard Tryggr Thimble (15 cm) is fixed in length, the Vario system allows the loop to be quickly fine-tuned in position to accurately accommodate a wider range of anchor diameters and configurations — making it the choice when working across varying stem sizes or where precise anchor positioning is needed for system geometry. Available in four lengths: 70, 90, 130 and 250 cm in highly visible Orange/Pink Fidus cord that contrasts clearly with climbing lines and makes the retrieval end immediately identifiable. Certified to EN 795:2012 Type B and rated for two-person rescue loads under PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 (max 300 kg combined). Available from Gustharts, an authorised DMM dealer, with UK stock.

DMM is a Welsh manufacturer of professional climbing, rigging and work-at-height hardware, based in Llanberis. Founded in 1981 and widely regarded as the benchmark for precision-made carabiners, pulleys and anchors across UK arboriculture, rope access and rescue.

Key Features

• Adjustable length system — the Vario loop adjusts quickly for accurate positioning across varying anchor point diameters without removing and resetting the anchor
• Stopper limits prussik loop movement — the adjustment mechanism is controlled and predictable; the stopper at the end prevents over-travel during positioning
• Orange/Pink high-visibility Fidus cord — ultra-high visibility colourway contrasts with climbing lines for immediate identification; the Fidus cord's pattern clearly indicates the retrieval end
• Retrievable from the ground — stitching stiffness in the Vario construction supports efficient ground-based retrieval; DMM retrieval cone compatible
• Suitable for moving and stationary rope applications — the Vario's adjustable system supports both SRS/SRT stationary setups and moving rope configurations
• Multiple wrap capability — additional wraps around the anchor increase friction when needed for secure positioning on complex anchor points
• Stainless steel thimbles protect the rope — bespoke DMM original thimbles at the load point isolate the climbing rope from cord-on-rope friction
• Double core polyester cord — 6.5mm polyester rope with double core construction for increased protection; UV resistant; resin-coated stitch for abrasion resistance
• Laser marked hardware — durable identification including retrieval indicator on the thimble hardware
• Four lengths available — 70, 90, 130 and 250 cm; select the length best suited to your typical anchor diameter range
• EN 795:2012 Type B and PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 certified — same dual certification as the standard Tryggr Thimble; 300 kg two-person rescue rated

Which Length Should You Choose?

The Vario's adjustable loop means each length covers a range of anchor diameters, not just a single fixed size. The general guide:

• 70 cm — for small to medium diameter trees and typical arborist anchor stems where a compact, lighter Vario is preferred; the closest to the standard Tryggr Thimble in anchor range
• 90 cm — a versatile mid-length covering medium diameter stems with slightly more adjustment range than the 70 cm
• 130 cm — for larger diameter stems and anchor structures where the shorter lengths do not wrap comfortably; also used for configurations requiring multiple wraps for increased friction
• 250 cm — for the largest diameter anchor points and structural applications; the maximum range Vario for complex or unusual anchor geometries

If in doubt between two lengths, size up — the adjustable system accommodates smaller diameters within a longer cord more comfortably than a shorter cord forces to accommodate larger ones. Contact Gustharts if you need help selecting the right length for your specific application.

Certifications

The Tryggr Thimble Vario carries identical certification to the standard Tryggr Thimble: EN 795:2012 Type B (anchor device for personal fall protection, work positioning and restraint) and PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 (two-person rescue rated, 300 kg combined). For a full explanation of both standards, see the DMM Tryggr Thimble product page.

Also Known As

The DMM Tryggr Thimble Vario is also referred to as an adjustable retrievable anchor, variable length choking anchor, SRS anchor, adjustable ground-retrievable anchor and adjustable friction saver anchor. The "Vario" designation identifies the adjustable-length variant within the Tryggr Thimble range. For ordering, reference the product code for your chosen length — RPS65-1T-OR-70, -90, -130 or -250.
