Kong Trender

[Jamin_Mayer]

They have made some great improvements on their double ascender. Check out the Trender

Any need for a back-up?

 

[BostonBull]

I dont see how it can open with that built in snap

 

[Rookieclimber]

I really like the top plate that assures the rope cannot escape, maybe my kong doubles will be looking more worn next year.

 

[easyphloem]

They look suspiciously like the Petzl Ascension.

I was thinking the same. It looks like they listened to customer concerns with this one. I like it.

I looked at these in Milwaukee last fall... an improved design IMO

 

[TreeStuff]

Quite a bit less than the Ascentree. And definitely a design improvement over the original Kong Twin. The plate guarding the cam is a great idea, but still not fool-proof obviously.

 

[No_Bivy]

I'll ride the Wraptor...haul everything up....not break a sweat, and it has a back up.

 

[Wagnaw]

Uh oh... Watch out.

Happy Birthday Jammin!

I know this has been discussed before but here goes

;

If you have a double ascender such as this trender or kong or ascentree, do you need to back the ascender up if each line is static (separated; not connected in a loop)?

[countryboypa31]

my understanding is if each line is static, with a double ascender, it is backed up. Each cam would be backing up the other.

Also is it acceptable to climb singleline with something like the trender ot ascentree?? I have wondered this for awhile. Even though they have two cams, is it ok to use just one of those?

D.W.H

 

[familytree]

Yes. It can be used either single or doubled.

I am almost positive that you can...of course you need a back up

Since Kongs where out first, did petzl copy them?
