    • NOW PLAYING

    Updated to provide greater comfort, efficiency and ease of use, the Petzl Ascenion ascender is great for aid climbing, mountaineering or caving.

    • Updated molded grip features a more ergonomically shaped handle that provides greater comfort than the previous version; grip is over-molded with rubber for greater friction
    • Large index finger indent increases efficiency when pulling on the ascender
    • Chrome-plated, spring-loaded steel cam features angled teeth and a self-cleaning slot to securely grip the rope, even in wet, muddy or icy conditions
    • Cam has been refined to glide more easily along the rope, requiring less effort during long sessions of jugging
    • Open/close trigger is now recessed inside the ascender's frame to avoid accidentally opening the cam while in use; trigger can still be operated with 1 hand
    • Safety catch prevents the cam from opening too far, thereby keeping the rope captured
    • Includes multiple attachment points to allow for different uses, such as self-belaying or hauling
    • Anodized frame is color coded for easy identification; black ascender is for the left hand and gray is for the right
    • Designed for use with ropes between 8 and 13mm in diameter

    Please note: Petzl products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

    Imported.

            Comments about Petzl Ascension Ascender:

            These are the bomb. You can use prusiks if you're weight conscious, or pair one of these up with a croll or prusik, etc. But for long ascents, a pair of these is the best method for getting there quickly & safely.

            In 10 years, under every condition imaginable, I've never had one fail.

              Now I'm not a very active climber but I bought one of these just to play around with and it works great. I plan getting the other handed one and try to find some serious overhangs where I can just ascend up them.
