Rope Clamps

Ergonomics and comfort were priorities when designing the Beal Hands Up handled ascender. It is equipped with a reinforced grip area, making it more comfortable and practical. This design allows a two-handed grip during rope ascents: on the side under the trigger as well as on the top. The opening of the cam is facilitated by an ergonomic offset lever. This control mechanism is made entirely of metal for durability.

The Beal Hold Up has an offset mounting hole offset at a 90° angle. This allows the rope clamp to remain vertical and flat for excellent fluidity during ascent. In addition, the low attachment on the harness increases the amplitude of each movement. And for even more comfort, the opening of the cam is facilitated by an ergonomic remote lever.
