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.

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.

Comments about Petzl Ascension Ascender:

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.
