CMI Expedition Hand Ascender

The double-handled design allows you to use both arms to power your ascent, which significantly reduces fatigue during long climbs or heavy hauling. It is particularly useful for vertical work where efficiency and sustained energy are critical.

Yes. The CMI Expedition features an extra-large grip opening specifically engineered to accommodate bulky gloves or mittens without compromising your hold or control.

This ascender is designed to work with ropes ranging from 8 mm to 13 mm in diameter. Always ensure your rope falls within this range to guarantee the cam engages properly.

The device has a work load limit of 400 lbs and a minimum breaking strength of 4,000 lbs. It is built for heavy-duty professional use, but you should always adhere to your specific rigging safety protocols.

While the cam is built for durability and includes a lifetime wear-out guarantee, you should inspect it regularly for debris or grit that could interfere with the teeth. Keep the channel clean to ensure the cam bites securely every time.

The dual tie-in holes provide extra versatility when setting up your system, allowing you to attach multiple lanyards or connect to your harness in different configurations depending on your specific task.
