Wild Country Ropeman Ascender

Ropeman Mk2

By Ranked #567 - Big Wall Climbing November 18, 2008

Slightly heavier than the Mk1 but worth the extra weight for the versatility it provides. The action is smooth and secure. The tool is solid and I have no qualm in trusting it as much as my full size jammers. As a jamming device it has proven excellent at hoisting and the light weight makes it a feasible tool for two man glacier travel, when weight savings mean thinner ropes. A definite blessing when the alternative is tying a single handed prussik whilst your partner does a Peter Pan in the crevasse.
