Weighing 13 oz (0.83 lbs.) the Cat Trax Blackout is the LIGHTEST climbing stick in the world. Utilizing premium-grade carbon fiber and high-strength alloys, this climbing stick offers unparalleled performance in both functionality and durability, all while maintaining an incredibly light weight. This stick achieves record-setting performance thanks to our innovative force displacement design (patent pending).

Even when you include the weight of the attachment rope (0.6 oz) and aider (0.5 oz), the Blackout is still lighter than any bare climbing stick on the market. Experience unmatched performance with this USA-made climbing stick. This stick is NOT to be confused with the injection-molded alternatives that get marketed or disguised as "Carbon Fiber".

Each stick includes a 7-foot long attachment rope constructed of UHMWPE.

LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP
The Blackout is the lightest climbing stick in the world. Its lightweight advantage comes from innovative design and high-quality materials to ensure durability, stability, longevity, and functionality.
TRUE CARBON FIBER
A custom composite layup maximizes strength and stability throughout, offers a warm touch in harsh conditions and is much quieter than metal sticks. This carbon fiber is NOT to be confused with injection-molded climbing sticks disguised as "carbon fiber".
SUPERIOR STANDOFF
The Blackout sits proud off the tree (4-inches) with claws that provide exceptional grip and use a wide angle to maximize stability.
SLICK ATTACH
The Blackout fastens to the tree with a loop-locking button and the accompanying UHMWPE rope, known for its 2400+ lbs. breaking strength.
ULTIMATE TRACTION
Precision machined steps provide smooth feel for hands and great traction for feet during ascent. Steps include a rope tab for containment and slots to keep aiders secured.
PROVEN RESULTS
Increased efficiency and effectiveness that translates to the field.
THIRD PARTY TESTED
