CMI Expedition Ascender

The dual-handle configuration allows you to use both arms to pull yourself up the rope, rather than relying on a single-handed grip. This distributes the physical load more evenly across your upper body, which significantly reduces fatigue during long ascents.

The CMI Expedition Ascender is compatible with ropes ranging from 8.5mm to 13mm in diameter. This wide range makes it versatile enough to handle most standard climbing and industrial ropes.

Weighing in at 369 grams, it is relatively lightweight for a dual-handled ascender. While it is bulkier than a single-handled unit, the trade-off is a much more stable and comfortable climbing experience.

The device has a minimum breaking strength of 15.1 kN. It is built from durable aluminum, designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional vertical work.

Yes, the grips are specifically shaped to minimize hand fatigue. By providing a more natural, secure hold, they reduce the strain on your fingers and forearms compared to standard, less contoured ascenders.
