Attach the Petzl Croll Ascender to your chest and waist harnesses to ascend a rope while caving. Used in combination with another ascender attached to a foot loop, the Croll allows you to climb the rope easily. You can rest by simply leaning back into your harness. Its self-cleaning teeth work on muddy and icy ropes without slipping.

Bottom Line: The Croll is the ascender of choice for cavers.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

It doesn't have to be used with a handled ascender, but you do need something to be attached to the waist and a foot loop to stand in. You can't just use a chest harness with this.

Great chest ascender

Basic, lightweight, does its job. What more can I say? I use this ascender caving, and it indeed fits the advertised range (8-13mm) and sticks to muddy, grimy ropes (though not used on icy ropes...yet). Easy to manipulate with gloves, nice that the black plastic opening lever keeps the ascender in an open position when I'm changing over from descending to ascending. One gripe is that using webbing as a chest puller harness tends to rub against thick ropes and makes ascending a little harder. But the croll plus a handled ascender for frog ascending makes fast work of vertical ropes.
