Big walls, long hauls or endless fixed lines to the summit? The angled handle and oversized grips of CMI's EXPEDITION ASCENDERS keep your wrist and fingers in a more comfortable “neutral” position for less fatigue while ascending fixed ropes on steep walls or long cave drops. This generous sized frame formed from plate alumium is well suited for expeditions and cold climbs where removing a glove or mitt is not an option. If you are passing knots or fixed pro you will certainly appreciate the natural feeling and easy -to-use thumb safety. Baked on black powder paint finish.
