Petzl Ascension Handled Ascender

Item #PTZ0248 | 67 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Intuitive

By Ranked #69 - Big Wall Climbing January 22, 2011

These ascenders are intuitive, color coded, and light they work well.
My only complaint is that it feels more difficult to open the rope-grabbing mechanism than I think it could be. In a way, that is a sort of built in safety that prevents someone from accidentally opening it, but I still think it could stand to open more easily for one handed operation.
