If used in technical rescue to climb 30+ feet on the rope would I go with the Wild County Ropeman Ascender or rather with something like the Petzl Ascension Handled Ascender.
@ Ryan
Thank you.
In your opinion would this justify the price difference?

The main difference here is weight and size - a handled ascender is more convenient and easy to use, but if you're not planning to use it, or if you're going light and fast, the Ropeman is way less to carry around.

They'll both work fine, but to move up quickly I think the Petzl product would be a little better.
