WHAT DOES JUMAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

jumar

Ascender (climbing)

An ascender is a mechanical device used for ascending on a rope. One such device is a Jumar, named after the Swiss factory which developed the first tool for sale in 1958. The device's name also leads to the term Jumaring for the process of using such a device. Other terms for this process include ascending, prusiking and jugging. Ascenders offer similar functionality to friction knots, but are faster and easier to use, albeit with consequences in security. An ascender employs a cam which allows the device to slide freely in one direction, and provide a firm grip on the rope when pulled on in the opposite direction. To prevent an ascender from accidentally coming off the rope, a locking mechanism or trigger is deployed. The ascender is first attached to the climber's harness by a piece of webbing or sling, and then is clipped onto the rope and locked. For climbing on a fixed rope attached, for example, to snow anchors on a steep slope, only one ascender is used, keeping the other hand free for holding an ice axe. Jumaring, also referred to as jugging, is where the second climber uses ascenders to climb the rope instead of climbing directly on the rock.
