Petzl gear has had an "up" arrow on their ascenders for many
years. On the Croll it is a small figure of a caver with one arm
pointing up in the direction of travel, rather than an obvious
arrow. Maybe it's part of the CE certification, because most all
brands have something similar, even those made in the USA. I do
remember thinking it was one of those "Duh!" things, though, like
telling you food will be hot after you microwave it. ;-)

This ClimbTech ascender appears to have been designed with rock
climbers in mind. No idea how well it would hold up to muddy, gritty
caving conditions.
