Petzl Ascension Handled Ascender

5 Star Rating

There's a reason everyone uses them

By Backcountry.com Employee March 31, 2006

These ascenders are comfortable to jug with, easy to manipulate with one hand, and grip the rope well even if it's icy or muddy. It is a bit of a drawback that you can only clip one carabiner through the handle, but you can just clip your daisy to the ascender and clip your aider to the daisy's carabiner.
