What’s the latest and greatest equipment in high rise these days? Please link if you can!
I’d love to know your feedback on all the gear - descenders, harnesses, rope, and anything else you want to mention.

I don’t do highrise work, we don’t have that stuff nearby. However, I have used rope access gear for some work.
I have been loving Petzl’s ID descender. The anti-panic is a bit different at first, but you get used to the finesse to use. Their AVAO harness is a bit different with the croll in the center. Clipping in with the croll is a little different but not having another dangling tool goes a long way when you are not suspended in the air. The last job with rope access had us working in a 4’ tube and equipment that dangled got caught easily.
Sterling and Petzl static rope (low stretch) always does seem to last a long time in my experience. Not that rope is designed to last too long with the environmental factors and all. Edelrid’s static ropes are ones I have used but low experience. They do seem to stretch more than Sterling and Petzl and don’t seem to be as durable.
