NewDoar Rock Climbing Chest Ascender Abdominal for Vertical Rope Climbing CE Certified Rope Clamp for 8~13MM Rope

The NewDoar Rock Climbing Chest Ascender Abdominal is a CE certified rope clamp that can be used for vertical rope climbing. It is designed to work in conjunction with a hand ascender attached to a foot loop and a foot ascender, which helps to quickly ascend a climbing rope using the rope walking technique. The ascender has short barbed teeth that clamp into the rope, providing a strong grip to hold you in place once anchored by both ends. However, it is not designed for primary life support during a fall and cannot be quickly descended in case of an emergency. While the product is generally well-designed and works effectively, some customers have reported that the sharp metal teeth on the cam can damage the rope and make it hard to disengage. Additionally, some users have had difficulty getting the ascender to grab onto the rope unless they apply side pressure, which can be frustrating. Overall, the NewDoar Rock Climbing Chest Ascender Abdominal is a reliable and effective tool for vertical rope climbing, but users should be aware of its limitations and potential drawbacks.
