Product Description

The benchmark for handled ascenders has 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.

  • 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.
  • 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

  1. Pretty much perfect

    Posted by Kimbyl Mann on 25th Jun 2011

    Make the bottom attachment big enough to spin a screwgate like the nForce and they would be perfect.


  2. Best ascenders out there!

    Posted by Patrick Donnelly on 7th Jun 2011

    Great stuff, nice and light, smooth. nice big handle with good grip


  3. Really smooth, maybe a little bulky.

    Posted by Ben A on 25th May 2011

    I've only used these ascenders so I can't compare them to other products, but I can say that I am impressed with their performance. They run up the rope smoothly and grip well when ascending. The big handle is easy and comfortable to hold. They may seem a little bulky to some people but if bulk is not a major concern then the petzl ascension is a good choice.
