Petzl Ascension right ascender

The Ascension is a right‑handed handled ascender designed for ascending fixed rope. It is intended for rope access, rescue and technical climbing where one‑handed installation and reliable rope capture are required.

Main benefits

• Ergonomic dual‑density handle: comfortable grip for one‑ or two‑handed use.
• Integrated safety catch: easy one‑hand installation and removal without accidental opening.
• Toothed cam with self‑cleaning slot: secure gripping on dirty, wet or frozen ropes.
• Lightweight aluminium body: reduced weight while maintaining structural strength.
• Wide lower hole: allows attachment of two carabiners (lanyard and foot loop).

Suitable for use on single fixed ropes 8–13 mm in diameter for rope access work, descent and progressive ascents during industrial, rescue or mountaineering tasks. The handle provides thermal insulation and improves handling in cold conditions.
