The Petzl Ascensions are probably the most commonly used handled ascenders. The black and silver ascensions are the improved versions of the gold and blue ascenders.

They feature an ergonomically shaped grip, with a wider grip for the palm of you hand and an indent for your index finger which all helps with a smother and a much more natural and efficient ascending technique. The design means that they are simple and easy to use, even with one hand, so moving past anchors should not be an issue.

The Ascensions grip ropes in all conditions, even on ice and mud encrusted ropes, with help of the self-cleaning cam. The teeth are thin so that they pass between the fibers of the rope sheath without causing damage. These spikes are angled downwards so that when ascending there is minimal wear on the rope and a smoother action is applied.

Features:

• Molded grip and ergonomically shaped handle.
• Chrome-plated steel cam with angled teeth and self-cleaning slot securely grips the rope, even in muddy or icy conditions.
• Recessed trigger
• Mono-frame construction
• Multiple attachment points
• Anodized frames are colour coded for easy identification (black -left / gray -right)
• Safety catch prevents the cam from opening too far thus keeping the rope captured for added safety
• 1 cm secondary hole at the bottom will accommodate a screw link for attaching aiders, slings, etc.

Aluminum frame, chrome-plated steel cam, rubber over molded plastic grip, nylon catch
