PETZL
ASCENSION ASCENDER
B17SLN, B17SRG
New ergonomic grip is lightweight
and easy to operate - ASCENSIONS were our
choice for a 1 day ascent of Half Dome -
way back in 1988. Since then these reliable
performers have been further improved with
a stronger 3D stamped frame, built in cam
stop, ergonomic molded safety catch and
comfortable molded grips. ASCENSIONS are
designed for ease of use as well as comfort
and offer a choice of hand position depending
on the terrain. When full knuckle protection
is needed opt for the soft plastic contoured
grip. When the rope is not pressing your
nose and your ascenders against the rock,
hold the upper part of the frame in the
palm of your hand to vary your grip. This
allows you to easily "thumb" the
cam while providing a restful "open
handed" alternative to the traditional
grip. For angled pitches, roofs and traverses
that have a twisting effect on any ascenders,
clip an OK
SCREWGATE around the rope and then thru
the upper biner holes for additional security.
This same carabiner can connect the ASCENSION
to a FIXED
SIDE PULLEY to make a lightweight, efficient
haul system. Comforting to know, the ASCENSION
will survive a factor 1 fall and may also
be used for self-belaying on a fixed rope.
