Gustharts have a fantastic range of ascenders and descenders, designed to help you navigate safely and successfully up and down trees. Ascenders will lock off if weighted and move freely once clipped onto the rope. Descenders work off friction by applying resistance to the rope as it is passed through the device, this allows a smooth descent from the tree with the climber being in control. Our range of ascenders and descenders should be used by trained climbers and arborists as they can be technical and need to be used correctly in order to get the most out of their uses.
