Riley B. ★★★★★

Used it for a full day of rope work and the overmolded handle really spreads the pressure across my palm instead of digging in. Even with two hands hauling on longer pitches, the ergonomic top section keeps the grip stable when things get sweaty.

James ★★★★★

My hands used to cramp halfway up a long pitch, but the ergonomic top section lets me pull smoothly with both hands without that pinch. It bites into the rope cleanly every time and feels solid under load.

Victoria W. ★★★★★

The overmolded handle makes a real difference when you're hauling yourself up with both hands—no hot spots even after a long pitch. Cam engages smoothly every time, which is exactly what you want when you're hanging off the rope.
