Petzl Ascension Ascenders- Ascender, rope grabs & climbing ascenders

The Petzl Ascension Handled Ascender is an indispensable piece of gear for jugging fixed lines, big wall climbing, and aid routes. Redesigned with a more ergonomic rubber handle and a self-cleaning steel cam, the Ascension grips your rope firmly and slides up smoothly even in nasty conditions, something you'll definitely notice after several hundred meters of jugging. The recessed trigger opens with one hand and features a safety catch to prevent the cam from opening too far.

Designed for climbing fixed single ropes from 8 to 13 mm.

Highly functional handle:

• Ascender can be installed onto the rope one-handed (with ergonomic thumb catch),
• Elastomer protective sleeve for comfort and thermal insulation.
• Chrome-plated steel cam with inclined teeth to provide grip on wet, icy or muddy ropes.
• Self-cleaning slot on cam.
