The Camp Safety Turbochest Ascender in black is a game - changer in the climbing world. Its two proprietary rollers work wonders, boosting climbing efficiency by enabling a super - smooth upward glide. At the same time, they significantly reduce wear on both the device and the ropes, especially at the spots where traditional ascenders often experience friction. This means a longer lifespan for your equipment and a safer climbing experience. During traversing maneuvers, the ascender offers a super - smooth action and enhanced safety. The perfectly profiled closure ensures that the rope stays in line with the device and the rollers, preventing it from slipping out during tight pendulums and traverses. The toothed cam has a special anti - wear treatment and drain holes to keep mud, grit, and ice at bay. The main body also has drain holes along the rope path, allowing grit and moisture to escape during use, which improves the contact between the rope and the device. Thicker body plates and a well - shaped connection point reduce shifting between the device and the connector, especially when used with steel connectors. This not only decreases wear but also keeps the device more aligned with your body during climbing. The opening mechanism is both simple and secure. You can lock the device open for easy attachment and use a removable pull cord, which is a great feature when you're wearing gloves. Additionally, this ascender can be rigged as a locking pulley for light hauling, with a maximum load capacity of 50 kg (110 lbs). It's suitable for ropes ranging from 8 to 13 mm. Note that this configuration is not for hauling or securing bodies. Weighing only 110 g, it's a lightweight yet powerful addition to your climbing gear.
Using the Camp Safety Turbochest Ascender is quite straightforward. First, select a rope between 8 to 13 mm in diameter. Open the device using the simple and secure opening mechanism. You can lock it open for easier attachment to the rope. When climbing, the proprietary rollers will help you glide upwards smoothly. During traversing maneuvers, enjoy the added safety it provides. If you need to use it as a locking pulley for light hauling, make sure the load doesn't exceed 50 kg (110 lbs), and remember this setup isn't for hauling or securing bodies. For maintenance, after each use, check the drain holes on the toothed cam and the main body to ensure they're clear of mud, grit, and ice. Wipe down the device to remove any moisture. Store it in a dry place to keep it in good condition for your next climbing adventure.
