Born from the legacy of “Black Sunday” and inspired by the resilience of the FDNY, the Phoenix Escape System stands as a symbol of survival and innovation. On January 23, 2005, six firefighters were forced to jump from a fifth-story window in the Bronx—an incident that forever changed how we think about personal escape systems.

Built by firefighters, for firefighters, the Phoenix System is engineered for performance when it matters most. It combines the lightweight strength of Sterling’s 6mm XTec Technora™ rope, the RPI 1/23 Hook, the Phoenix Descender, and the Tephra Carabiner—all designed for rapid deployment, intuitive control, and low-profile carry.
