  • @rezilience11 YES!, they are

  • can you use an ascender for a self crevace rescue?

  • 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.

  • @benandtinagilbert

    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
