Now with forged sideplates, the Wild Country Ropeman 2 Ascender is lighter and smoother than ever. The improved internal radius operates efficiently with a wide range of rope diameters, from 8 to 13mm, while the aggressive stainless steel cam ensures a confident bite on those thinner cords. Whether we're helping our second who has run into trouble, moving past a blank section on the wall, or hauling gear, this featherweight ascender adds little weight to our rack but a whole lot of functionality.
