Why is it masculine?

Ascenso is masculine because it derives from the Latin "ascensus," the masculine past participle of "ascendere" (to climb), and Latin masculine nouns ending in -us typically remain masculine when adopted into Spanish. This follows the standard pattern where Latin -us endings correspond to Spanish masculine -o endings.
