When you're hundreds of feet off the ground, your climbing gear becomes more than equipment—it becomes your lifeline. That's why the NewDoar hand ascender is engineered with safety as its top priority, meeting the rigorous UIAA & CE certification standards (1019-435 EN 567:2013) that climbers and arborists trust worldwide.
This ascender isn't just certified; it's proven to perform under pressure. With a breaking strength of 8.5KN and tension capacity of 4KN, it can handle loads up to 308 lbs (140kg), giving you the confidence to push your limits without worrying about gear failure. The lightweight aluminum alloy frame keeps the total weight down to just 237g (0.52 lbs), so it won't weigh you down during long ascents or technical maneuvers.
Climbing shouldn't be a battle against your own equipment. That's why we've added a comfortable rubber handle that provides excellent grip while protecting your hands from abrasion. The thoughtful design includes multiple attachment points—two holes on both upper and lower sides—allowing you to connect carabiners and webbings with ease. The upper hole typically connects to your carabiner, while the lower accommodates foot rings for assisted climbing techniques.
The solid stainless steel cam is built to resist rust and corrosion, ensuring reliable performance in wet, dusty, or salty conditions. Whether you're working in humid forests, dusty rock quarries, or coastal areas, this ascender will maintain its functionality and longevity. The 8-13mm rope compatibility makes it versatile enough for most climbing and arborist applications you'll encounter.
From weekend rock climbers to professional arborists, this hand ascender delivers the peace of mind that comes with knowing your equipment is up to the task. It's the kind of gear that fades into the background of your climbing experience—simply working quietly in the background while you focus on the adventure ahead.
