CAMP Turbo Chest Ascender

A revolutionary chest ascender that features two rollers for a smooth interface
with the rope. This not only helps with climbing efficiency by making the upward
glide much smoother. It also reduces dangerous wear on the device where the rope
tends to rub on the body of a traditional ascender. The perfectly profiled closure
keeps the rope in line with the body of the device and the rollers to prevent the rope
from escaping the device during tight pendulums and traverses. The toothed cam is
finished with a special anti-wear treatment and features drain holes to help prevent
the build up of mud, grit and ice. The main body also features drain holes along the
rope path to allow grit and moisture to escape during use for better contact with the
rope. Thicker body plates and a shaped connection point reduce wear on the device
caused by shifting between the device and the connector (especially when used with
steel connectors). This also keeps the device more in-line with the body during use.
The opening mechanism is simple and secure with the ability to lock the device open
for easier attachment and a removable pull cord that makes it easier to operate while
wearing gloves. The rollers also allow the Turbochest to be rigged as a locking pulley
for light hauling with a max load of 50 kg, 110 lbs. NOTE: This configuration is not
intended for hauling or securing of bodies.
