Ascenders

The new CT QUICK UP left hand ascender features the following:

• new overmoulded, ergonomic handle ascender, designed for greater efficiency when pulling and increased resistence to wear and tear
• cam opening lever usable with one hand; patented system for unlocking the cam, with just one downwards movement necessary
• steel cam, manufactured with technology that implements the resistance to wear and tear. Equipped with a set of teeth that protects the wear of the rope, but it is equally effective in blocking and ascending the rope.
• Also has three slots to prevent the accumulation of mud and reduce the effort needed to slide the device up the rope under any condition (muddy rope, frozen etc.)
• two attachment holes
• Working Load 140 kg-308 lbs.

FEATURES:

• Equipped with a lever that keeps the device open, thus facilitating the insertion of the rope and preventing it from coming out.
• Cam/lever mechanism totally integrated in the body.
• Developed to grip on dirty and icy ropes, thanks to the self-cleaning cam.
• Fully adjustable webbing for a correct positioning.
• Reinforcement on the lower side with a tubular webbing.
• Well balanced, it doesn't twist under load.

This revolutionary ascending and descending system is simple to use. Incoming rope falls easily through the device using the weight of the rope itself to take up slack. Climber can use the Lock Jack as a mechanical prusik and easily advance on the rope. Simply pull down on the wooden knob to release the prusik and decend. Device can be installed mid-line and features a swivel carabiner attachment.

The Lockjack can totally replace the friction hitches used on climbing lines. The Lockjack works as both an ascender and as a descender for self-belay in the doubled rope technique (DRT). The advantage of the Lockjack is that friction is applied to the rope with a smooth aluminum surface which causes less friction while climbing for an effortless advance, and a smoother more easily controlled descent.

Works with 7/16” or 1/2” rope with a simple part change of the clutch (both clutch sizes are included.) Use with a small D or Oval carabiner only. A larger carabiner may allow the wooden ball to pass through and become stuck, resulting in free fall.

Limited edition of the  Notch Rope Runner Pro that is the ultimate SRT mechanical device. 

This single rope mechanical device makes SRT ascending easier, allowing ascent and descent on a single line without bending the rope. It also allows users to use a foot ascender with this 100% mechanical device.

FEATURES:

• Incredibly easy SRT or DRT climbing
• Unparalleled smooth one-hand descent
• Fully mid-line attachable (stays in one piece!)
• Rope friendly edges
• Flattened 'bird' sections for comfort when descending
• Multiple friction settings
• Integrated central tending point for attachment to a chest harness
• Improved sealed ball bearing pulley
• Internal spring keeps it safe from dirt and debris
• Slic pins keep all of the parts together when the device is opened
