Compact emergency ascender. Carry a couple of TIBLOCS clipped to your harness on your next multi-pitch trad climb or glacier crossing. This compact, one piece, mechanical ascender replaces tedious prussik slings for ascending a fixed rope - whether you are scrapin' your way back to the high point after a fall or hauling yourself out of a cravasse. A TIBLOC also works nicely as a "progress capture" ratchet in a rescue "Z rig" or for casual day pack hauling. Use each TIBLOC with an ATTACHE or AM'D locking carabiner for an easy hand hold. Press your thumb against the Tiblocs spine - after which your weight can be applied. Instructions and rigging tips included.
