Petzl Basic Rope Clamp / Ascender

Product Description

A lightweight, compact multi-purpose ascender that works great for hauling systems, ascending fixed lines and as self-protection when climbing with a fixed rope. Chrome-plated steel cam with angled teeth and self-cleaning slot securely grips the rope, even in muddy or icy conditions. The cam has been refined to increase the efficiency in which the ascender glides on the rope. The wear area has been moved lower on the cams surface to increase its durability. The cam engages without losing a millimeter each time it is weighted and glides smoothly up a rope with a minimal of effort.


  • Multi-purpose lightweight ascender. Multiple attachment points allow for different uses (e.g. self-belaying, haul systems, etc)
  • New chrome-plated steel cam with angled teeth and self-cleaning slot securely grips the rope, even in muddy or icy conditions
  • The trigger is now recessed into the frame guarding it when ascending lower angled sections while maintaining the ability to open/close the cam /only one hand
  • For use with single ropes from 8 to 13 mm in diameter
  • Weight 4.8 oz (136g). CE & UIAA certified

4.0 out of 5 stars A handy ascender., October 11, 2011

While I am no expert at climbing (falling is more my specialty), I have found this ascender rather useful. Although I have not fall tested it, it seems quite sturdy and works well in its function. When it stops the rope it does pull up some "threads", but perhaps this is unavoidable given the way the technology works.

It is, overall, a good basic ascender, although more serious climbers will probably want to get something a bit more elaborate/advanced.
