Overview
Gripping rope with one or two hands, this Petzl right-handed ascender uses a studded, ergonomic handle and a lever you can work with one hand. A large lower hole takes carabiners for a foot loop.
The handle shape and wide lever opening are aimed at a strong, comfortable pull even with thick gloves. The description is poorly translated, so details like rope diameter and what the headline weight figure measures are unclear.
Who it's for
Climbers and rope-access users who need a right-hand handled ascender are the target. Left-handed users need the left version, and anyone who needs exact ratings should confirm them.
Pros and cons
- Studded ergonomic handle
- Works with thick gloves
- Groove for frozen or muddy rope
- Right-hand version only
- Rope size not listed
- Description is garbled
Performance notes
The lever releases the cam so the ascender can be placed or taken off the rope from any point, and the groove clears mud and ice. The lower hole sets how a foot loop and carabiners attach.
