• Ergonomic, rubberized handle reduces strain and user fatigue.
• Lightweight and incredibly strong!
• This device does not slip on ice and mud covered ropes.
• Accommodates mittened hands.
• When unweighted, it moves easily up and down the rope. (Back and forth in the case of a traverse line.)
• Fully functional on traverses.
• Its unique design can arrest a fall if a fixed rope (+10mm) fails from above!
• It satisfies standard EN567 by withstanding loads of 400 kg applied five times, with ropes which meet standard pr EN 892 without sustained damage or deformation which would adversely affect their function; "rope-friendly"!
• Because of its ease of movement back and forth on fixed traverse lines, its ability to hold a fall in either direction, its light weight and strength, its foolproof reliability , its ease of use while wearing mittens and its versatility in accepting various rope diameters wet, dry or frozen the handled ascender is far and away the best choice for high altitude expeditions. No other ascender can make those statements.
