Ascenders are one of the types of equipment used in aid climbing. Ascenders allow the climber to maintain his progress when taking a break. Learn how to use ascenders in this climbing video.
Is there a part two to this? I mean, duh, I could have gotten this much looking at the package. Come on, I thought you were going to show us actually "how to use ascenders".
The teeth have little impact on the rope unless... the rope is constantly used to ascend or... a fall occurs on an ascender. The more impact force that is put on an ascender, the more the friction of the teeth will grab, the more damage they'll do.
@rezilience11 YES!, they are

The damage from the teeth is normally insignificant, as the teeth only grab the rope so the cam can pinch it.

do those teeth damage the rope? or just pinch it
