Petzl Tibloc rope clamp

The Petzl Tibloc is an extremely compact, ultra-light rope clamp used for ascending ropes or as a progress-capture device in hauling systems. It is designed for professional and recreational rope work where a lightweight, simple automatic clamp is required.

Key benefits

• Very small and light — weighs only 35 g, easy to carry or clip to a harness.
• Automatic system presses the carabiner against the rope for immediate grip in any orientation.
• Stainless‑steel body with angled teeth and a self‑cleaning slot performs reliably in muddy or icy conditions.
• Can be used as a rope ascender or as a progress‑capture (haul) device in pulley systems.
• Markings indicate installation direction; small hole allows attachment of a retention cord to prevent loss.

The Tibloc is typically used in work-at-height tasks, rescue scenarios and technical rope procedures where an ultra-light, simple device is needed for temporary rope capture or for ascending. Compatible with ropes 8–11 mm.
