These ascenders are comfortable to jug with, easy to manipulate with one hand, and grip the rope well even if it's icy or muddy. It is a bit of a drawback that you can only clip one carabiner through the handle, but you can just clip your daisy to the ascender and clip your aider to the daisy's carabiner.
