KONG CAM CLEAN Chest Ascender | 8–13 mm Rope Clamp
The KONG CAM CLEAN is a lightweight, professional chest ascender designed for rope climbing, arboriculture, caving, technical rescue, canyoning, and industrial work-at-height applications. Its compact aluminum alloy construction and advanced cam mechanism provide reliable rope engagement during vertical rope progression.
The CAM CLEAN incorporates KONG's latest-generation rope-clamping technology, featuring a specially treated steel cam designed for increased surface hardness, wear resistance, and dependable performance in challenging environments.
The cam openings help maintain effective rope engagement when working with muddy or icy ropes. A specialized chemical and thermal treatment improves the cam's durability while reducing the brittleness commonly associated with hardened steel components.
An ergonomic opening lever provides convenient operation and is protected against impacts and accidental opening. The device also incorporates an anti-overturning cam system for added operational security.
Made in Italy, the CAM CLEAN is compatible with ropes 8 to 13 mm in diameter and comes in four colors: Orange, Black, Blue, and Red.
