Petzl Basic Ascender

The BASIC is a compact ascender that fits well in the hand for rope ascents. The lower attachment hole is large enough to accept carabiners for the lanyard and the footloop.

• Compact ascender with excellent grip

• Can be used for rope ascent on a fixed line or as progress capture in a hauling system

• Toothed cam with self-cleaning slot optimizes performance under any conditions (frozen or muddy ropes…)

• Stainless steel cam has better resistance to corrosion

• Lower attachment hole large enough for two carabiners (lanyard and foot loop)

• Upper connection hole for guiding the rope
