Product Description

The benchmark for handled ascenders has been refined to provide greater comfort; efficiency, ease of use. The ergonomically shaped grip is over molded with rubber for greater friction and the broader surface provides greater comfort while pulling on the ascender. The grip is wider at the bottom providing better comfort for your hand during use. The index finger indent has also been increased offering greater efficiency when pulling on the ascender. The trigger to open/close the cam is now recessed inside the frame to avoid accidentally opening the cam while in use. The cam has been redesigned to minimize friction when sliding the ascender along the rope while the angled teeth provide secure grip in the worst conditions (wet, icy, or on muddy ropes). The geometry of the single piece aluminum frame ensures optimal handle orientation when the device is loaded and will maintain solid, comfortable performance even after thousands of meters of jugging. Mono-frame construction eliminates weaknesses and keeps the ascender lightweight and durable for years of use. Multiple attachment points allow for different uses (e.g. self-belaying, haul systems, etc). Anodized frames are color coded for easy identification (black -left / gray -right). Safety catch prevents the cam from opening too far thus keeping the rope captured for added safety. 1 cm secondary hole at the bottom will accommodate a screw link for attaching aiders, slings, etc.. 3-year manufacturer's guarantee. CE / UIAA certified.


  • Molded grip provides even greater comfort with a more ergonomically shaped handle
  • Chrome-plated steel cam with angled teeth and self-cleaning slot securely grips the rope, even in muddy or icy conditions
  • The cam has been refined to increase the efficiency in which the ascender glides on the rope
  • The trigger is now recessed into the frame guarding it when ascending lower angled sections while maintaining the ability to open/close the cam with only one hand
  • For use with ropes between 8 and 13 mm in diameter. Weight 195 grams

5.0 out of 5 stars Great both as an ascender and a general-purpose rope "grabber", October 12, 2011

A pair of these ascenders work extremely well and are relatively affordable. Have also used these to grab onto ropes being used for rigging and to then transfer that load around. Well built, quality pieces of equipment.
