Ascenders

Then, with the help of handgrips called ascenders, he made his way along a series of guide ropes until he was hovering right over the skeleton. ❋ MICHAEL BALTER (2005)

It will be noticed in the diagram that the "ascenders" of the smaller letters rise about three squares to their extreme top points above the body of the letter; that the body of each letter is inclosed in a square that is three units high, and that the "descenders" fall but two squares below the letter body. ❋ Frank Chouteau Brown (N/A)

Newer models have heel-lifters, called "ascenders", that flip up to facilitate hill climbing. ❋ Unknown (2010)

At the top of each pitch, he pulled up the slack in the rope, fixed it to the anchor and started climbing again, while I used mechanical ascenders to get to the station and put him on belay as fast as I could. ❋ Michael J. Ybarra (2012)

Jumaring, or climbing fixed lines with mechanical ascenders, is another Big Wall skill you need to master to efficiently aid climb—one I was still figuring out. ❋ Michael J. Ybarra (2011)

This was real flying, better than airships or ascenders or hot-air balloons, like an eagle zooming down toward its prey. ❋ MR. SCOTT WESTERFELD (2009)

But Huxleys were primitive ascenders, designed to be tethered at all times. ❋ MR. SCOTT WESTERFELD (2009)

Someone does, though, when you talk to font folks, they bust out all the x-heights and ascenders and when and where things are appropriate. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Something with a bit more elegance, like a classical Garamond or Centaur, will have a smaller x-height and longer ascenders and descenders. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Some types, like Stone or Optima, have a large x-height, which means the ascenders and descenders are correspondingly short. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Aaaand, in relation to a lot of the genre discussions of late, I thought this post from one of the head honchos of the game was compelling in a lot of ways speed ascenders are people who try to run the game like an obstacle course, blowing through it in as quick of time as possible…my own needs in the game are much more…slowcore/shoegazing. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Attaching their ascenders, Harvath demonstrated how the devices were used to climb back up the rope. ❋ Brad Thor (2005)

You can ascend or climb a rope with mechanical ascenders or prusik loops, or do so hand-over-hand if you are in high school gym class. ❋ Miss Snark (2005)
