In this category, you will find a selection of handled rope clamps for enthusiastic climbers, professionals in industrial climbing, as well as sport climbing enthusiasts. A hand ascender, often referred to as a rope clamp, is a tool used in climbing and mountaineering to facilitate efficient and energy-saving ascent on the rope.
The uniqueness of these clamp systems lies in their application: One hand ascender is attached to the climbing harness, while the second ascender is attached to a webbing loop that can be stepped into with the foot. By alternating stepping into the foot loop and pushing up the ascender attached to the harness, a smooth and fatigue-free ascent is made possible.
It is important to note that hand ascenders should not be used for lead climbing, as the loads involved can exceed the breaking strength of the ascenders.
In addition, hand ascenders are equipped with a hole for attaching carabiners. A carabiner can be hooked into this hole to prevent the rope from slipping out sideways.
For safety, it is important that hand ascenders comply with the requirements of the European Standard (EN) 567. This standard defines the safety requirements and test methods for hand ascenders.
