This ultralight, multi-purpose rope grab is an ideal back-up for standard ascenders or for those who wish to travel as light as possible

  • Much lighter and more compact than standard ascenders, plus faster to set up than prusik knots and works well in pulley systems
  • Tibloc should be used only with carabiners made of uniform oval or round stock in order to prevent damage to the rope
  • Caution: hot-forged carabiners with T-shaped stock, such as the Petzl Spirit, should NOT be used
  • The Tibloc is an amazing little tool when used properly, but can easily be misused; it is essential to read the instructions to prevent rope damage!
  • Please Note: Petzl products can only be shipped to US addresses

Imported.

        Comments about Petzl Tibloc Ascender:

        I have two tibloc ascenders I use for multipliers in my slackline rig. I can rig a 200'+ line with my pulleys and these ascenders. They really are great. Super easy to use, very quick, small and convenient.

        Oh yeah great for rock climbing too :).

              Just overall really nice to have on hand. If used properly, it doesn't really cause much rope wear at all... sets and holds immediately and is great for rests on the way up...
