DESCRIPTION

The Petzl Ascension Handled Ascender is an indispensable piece of gear for jugging fixed lines, big wall climbing, and aid routes. Redesigned with a more ergonomic rubber handle and a self-cleaning steel cam, the Ascension grips your rope firmly and slides up smoothly even in nasty conditions, something you'll definitely notice after several hundred meters of jugging. The recessed trigger opens with one hand and features a safety catch to prevent the cam from opening too far.
