Chris Hampton

General Manager, IRATA L3

Chris has been involved in the vertical world in one way or another for nearly 30 years.  Starting as a recreational rock climber, his transition into industrial rope access came naturally.  He is a passionate gear nut and technical rescue technician. Chris provides a wealth of knowledge on the varied applications and safety standards of rope access. He leads by example in his role as General Manager with an emphasis on best practices, attention to detail and completing each project to a high quality while enjoying the process. Chris is also our head of retail for Spidertech Supplies and happily gets on ropes to assist as needed.

Chris is an International Technical Rescue Association Level 3 Instructor.

Outside of Spidertech, he’s a volunteer firefighter with Tasmania Fire Service and a Team Leader with the Climbers Club of Tasmania Vertical Rescue Team. In his spare time, when he’s not training or attending courses, he can often be found climbing, running, or dog walking the trails of kunanyi.
