Petzl Ascension Ascender-Left mpn44429,

The Petzl Ascension Ascenders are the benchmark for handled ascenders and have been refined to provide greater comfort; efficiency, ease of use. The ergonomically shaped grip is over-molded with rubber for greater friction and the broader surface provides greater comfort while pulling on the ascender. The grip is wider at the bottom providing better comfort for your hand during use. The index finger indent has also been increased offering greater efficiency when pulling on the ascender. The trigger to open/close the cam is now recessed inside the frame to avoid accidentally opening the cam while in use. The cam has been redesigned to minimize friction when sliding the ascender along the rope while the angled teeth provide secure grip in the worst conditions (wet, icy, or on muddy ropes). The geometry of the single piece aluminum frame ensures optimal handle orientation when the device is loaded and will maintain solid, comfortable performance even after thousands of meters of jugging.

Features of Petzl Ascension Ascender-Left:

• Molded grip provides even greater comfort with a more ergonomically shaped handle. This new shape keeps your hand from sliding to the bottom of the frame each time you pull on the ASCENSION. The bi-material handle includes a rubber over molded grip increasing the comfort and your grip in wet or icy conditions.
• Ascender can be installed onto the rope one-handed (with ergonomic thumb catch)
• Self-cleaning slot on cam.
• Chrome-plated steel cam with angled teeth and self-cleaning slot securely grips the rope, even in muddy or icy conditions
• Mono-frame construction eliminates weaknesses and keeps the ascender lightweight and durable for years of use
