Product Details
Description:
With 33% more gripping power than a conventional ascender, Black Diamond's nForce gives maximum hold and solid locking power that can be trusted. Designed with multiple options for cam manipulation, you'll always want to keep one of these on your rack.

Features:

  • Trust your weight to the design with 33% more clamping power than conventional ascenders - great for muddy or icy ropes
  • 360-degree clip-in allows full range of rotation for locking biners
  • Made for use in any season, the ergonomic polyurethane grip holds just as well with bare hands or in heavy gloves
  • Cam in the open or closed position - either way, you can engage and disengage with just your index finger
  • Don't rely on your ascender for just one thing - you can also use this device for self-belay or hauling gear
  • Seconds have minor cosmetic defects that in no way effect performance

Specifications:

  • Weight: 8.6 ounces
  • Handles ropes: 8 - 13 mm

Comments about Black Diamond nForce Ascender - Cosmetic Seconds:

These are just not as good as Petzl. Tried these and returned them due to poor locking. Dirt completely seized one of the cams.
