Gold Standard

by Tim, Verified Owner from CT, United States Written on May 14, 2020
I've used a number of these and finally bought my own. These units seem like the gold standard of all of the ascenders on the market - comfy in hand, works well every time and takes a beating. I have no complaints about these. I haven't jugged any long pitches with these yet, but it seems like that will be comfy.

Lightweight

by CZMark, from WI, United States Written on December 27, 2018
The Ascension is much lighter than it looks, I don't even notice the extra weight in my pack. Used in conjunction with a foot loop and Grigri, it is perfect for SRT which I use to climb trees while deer hunting.

The design is nothing short of perfect for any needs you may face on big walls and beyond. The exceptional design has stood the test of time, and other manufacturers are now even starting to mimic it. They are ve

Smooth Ascenders

by Kinji, Written on September 10, 2011
These ascenders are intuitive, color coded, and light - they work well.

My only qualm is that it feels more difficult to open the rope-grabbing mechanism than I think it could be. In a way, that is a sort of built in safety that prevents someone from accidentally opening it, but I still think it could stand to open more easily for one handed operation.
