Introducing ASCEND, the world's first rock climbing specific ankle brace. ASCEND minimises or prevents the recurrence of ankle injuries caused by falls and impacts. It prevents the inversion and hyperextension of the ankle with innovative shock absorbing straps. These straps act as external ligaments that prevent the ankle from going past its normal range of movement.
