1.1.2
purpose, ascender: Rollgliss™ Explorer™ Ascenders (see Figure 1) are available as hand or chest style ascenders
and can be used on synthetic kernmantle rope (nylon, polyester or blends of both materials) in sizes from 10.5 - 13mm
(27/64" - 1/2"). The cams are designed with a tooth pattern that maximizes grip on rope with minimal damage. Rigging
holes are strategically placed to help organize multiple carabiners and maximize safety. The ascenders' ergonomic
design provides a comfortable and smooth action on the rope and a safe and easy double action latch for installation on,
and removal from, a rope.
Ascenders are designed as a part of a rescue or climbing system for gripping rope and/or in combination with foot loops/
etrier as a climbing aid. Chest ascenders provide an easy to operate positioning device and climbing aid. In addition,
specialty and accessory ascenders provide a rope anchor in conjunction with pulley kits and on their own.
Ascenders are part of a work positioning system, hauling and/or rescue system. Use and operation of an ascender
must only be by those individuals who have been trained in its use. All workers at height must have a rescue plan in
place when at risk of a fall. It is recommended that a backup (secondary) system is used to protect the operator and
that the means to affect a safe and efficient rescue is in place.
