What's this world coming to, when a handled ascender like that has an
up arrow on it?

Even the Petzl Basic ascender (my favorite,
http://www.petzl.com/en/outdoor/multi-purpose-ascenders-0/basic) has an up
arrow on it.
This ClimbTech ascender appears to have been designed with rock climbers in
mind. No idea how well it would hold up to muddy, gritty caving conditions.

Hi Bill,
May I refer you to a previous tag-line of yours:
May the last lawyer be strangled with the entrials of the last priest.
Cheers,

Petzl gear has had an up arrow on their ascenders for many
years. On the Croll it is a small figure of a caver with one arm
pointing up in the direction of travel, rather than an obvious
arrow. Maybe it's part of the CE certification, because most all
brands have something similar,
The UP arrow is a better graphic than the little guy with a helmet I think.
Glad they switched to that. The Gris Gris goes one better and shows the
rope path, your belaying hand, and the climber.
You'd be surprised how many experienced people get spaced out and mess up
things as well.
On Thu,

On Thu,
Here's an ascender I haven't seen
before: http://www.climbtechgear.com/ascenders/. It's made by a
reputable climbing gear manufacturer, so I presume it's safe and
effective. It is significantly less expensive than comparable
handled ascenders, which generally go for $60 - $70.
One of the founders and engineers is my neighbor here in Wimberley. I have
not talked to him lately, so I did not know they were making ascenders. I
will ask him about them next time I see him.
