Re: toothed vs ridged
So pretty much the grooved ascenders are better for the rope in the long run? I want to make sure that I get the most out of my lines and try to keep them well maintained as long as possible...
Re: Hmmmmm, interesting
i could be mistaking... but I think the ascender im useing (Petzl - Basic Ascender) does have teeth, but also has a friction clamping action. Correct me if I am wrong or somewhat mislead, please.
I just got a basic ascender from REI and was wondering if those were appropriate for use with a flipline? It seems to work great, but was seeing if it shouldnt be used because of the line always snagging on the catch teeth...
peace
