{"product_id":"grivel-a-d-ascender-descender","title":"A\u0026D Ascender Descender","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe A\u0026amp;D starts as a classic cam-style ascender, but a built-in plate on the body lets it convert to a descender on the same rope. To switch from ascending to descending, you feed the rope under the cam and into the plate, clip in a carabiner, briefly unweight the device to release the cam, and descend exactly as you would with a standard rappel plate. That eliminates the usual headache of cam-style ascenders being purpose-built to go up and awkward to release for descent. A large bottom ring connects cleanly to the harness, and the spacious ergonomic handle — along with a ring on the cam itself — keeps it manageable even with gloves on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eConverts between ascending and descending on the same rope without changing devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCam-style ascender function for climbing fixed ropes, including expedition use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eIntegrated plate enables standard-style rappel descent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLarge bottom ring for direct harness connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eErgonomic, glove-friendly handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRing on the cam aids manipulation and unlocking\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 261 g (9.1 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRope diameter (ascending): 8.3–13 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRope diameter (descending): 7.3–13 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMaterial(s): aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCertification(s): EN 567, UIAA 126-2, EN 12841 Type B, EN 15151-2, UIAA 129-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Grivel","offers":[{"title":"Left","offer_id":47921630478562,"sku":"210000098797","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Right","offer_id":47921630511330,"sku":"210000098798","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/3649\/9682\/files\/grivel-ad-ascender-descender-left.jpg?v=1782321069","url":"https:\/\/climbonequipment.com\/en-us\/products\/grivel-a-d-ascender-descender","provider":"Climb On Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
