The Ascension Handled Ascender from Petzl is the ultimate choice for big wall climbers. This ascender stands out due to its straightforward yet efficient design, making it the go-to option for any aid line.
Featuring a thumb catch, the Ascension Handled Ascender allows for easy partial cam release, ensuring smooth progress on low pitches where rope weight is not in your favor. It excels even in challenging conditions, such as wet, muddy, or icy ropes, thanks to its super-aggressive teeth. For enhanced security during the cleaning process, Petzl has included a top carabiner loop as an additional measure.
