Ascender/Descender instead of bosun's chair
I was considering buying a pair of ascenders instead of a bosun's chair. I
went to the local outdoor place and the sales guy said that the ascenders are not made for descending, that I should buy a descender to get back down the mast. Why would an ascender not be appropriate in either direction? Maybe a mountain climber might be able to descend faster with a descender, but I can't see why I couldn't use the ascenders to get back down. Does anyone have recommendations on specific hardware brands? Thanks. |
