Ascenders

An ascender, also known as a jumar is used for ascending up a rope when climbing is not possible. The device, which relies on a cam for its functionality, will slide up a rope in one direction but will clamp to the rope when pulled in the opposite direction. The ascender is attached to the climbers harness and then clipped to the rope and locked.
