Petzl Ascension Handled Ascender

Item #PTZ0248 | 65 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Simple and Clean

By Backcountry.com Employee December 9, 2010

I've used the BD nForce ascenders for a few years, and thought they were ok. I had no idea what I was missing out on until I gave these ascenders a try this past fall. The ease of use is unparalleled. There is no extra moving parts or procedures I have to go through to unlock the tool or get it past a knot, which is cluth for fast ascents. I would highly recommend this piece of gear for any big wall climber or anyone looking to add an item as useful as this to their rack.
