Review Detail

This was my first mechanical ascender used to tie my foot loop to the climbing line. I was not aware of prusik loops at that time so this was the option I took. After improving my climbing education, I figure out other ways to use this tool. It can be used as any "handled" ascender with the difference that this one does not have a handle. It can be incorporaded in the RADS system for SRT Climbing or it can be used to replace the friction hitch in a DRT set up. I like this tool because it is durable, easy to use and fairly economical. It works in the same principal as the Croll ascender. Give it try and you will agree!
