Right or Left Hand and Chest Ascender - Arborist Climbing Light Alloy Equipment Gear Rock Rappelling Equipment for Tree Rope Clamp Climber for 8-13MM Rope

This is a well-made climbing equipment that played a huge role in my last climb. If I use ATC when I grab the rope in panic, I wouldn't be here to tell you this story. It will allow for a proper rappel descent by applying more or less pressure to the handle, neither completely depressing nor completely releasing the handle that will only make you immobile. We all make mistakes, but in climbing a mistake can be deadly. This is an extra barrier of safety, recommend.

I use this this descender exclusively for rappelling down a 100 ft 45 degree hill to a river bank to cut down trees along the way and access a remote area. I use 10 mm static line (not hanging or climbing) with full climbing gear. Have used about 2 dozen times so Far with no issues.

I love this thing. Easy to carry, attach, and SAFE! Attach your biner, thread the line per the diagram on the device, ASSURE IT IS CORRECT, test it on the ground before stepping off the ledge! The lever should totally control your descent. Fast/slow. That's it! Ron

I like this decender, but it's a little to loud for hunting applications. But I do practice with it and keep it in my SRT kit.

Works great even for a beginner, no problems so far been using for 3 years now definitely worth the money
