acending rope
Explanation:
ascending rope vs descending rope

The PED3 is used in conjunction with an escape harness or rescue sling. The PED3 is the smallest automatic abseil and rescue device in the world. The unit is robust in all weathers and the rope entry and exit is separated from all internals to prevent dirt ingress. The user may stop at any point with little force being applied to the ascending rope.
