Wanted to poll the crowd here to see what everyone's favorite climbing ascender is. I've been using a Croll-L for the chest ascender, and it's fine. However, I'm re-thinking using a handled ascender for the main-climbing ascender. Mainly to gain more room for easier down-climbing during changeovers. I guess there's a benefit of less bulky kit as well. (This is doubled for our style of climbing, where we use a 3rd ascender for changeovers - as discussed in another thread recently.) My with is in the same scenario as well...
What is everyone's preferred main climbing ascender, for frog-climbing? Specifically non-handled please. I know there's the Petzl Basic, Climbing Technologies Simple, C.A.M.P. solo2. The CT/Skylotech "Get Up" - I don't like the fact that the carabiner hole is held on by a single rivet...
What else am I missing here out there? What are your favorites?
