Petzl left its Basic Ascender compact, light, and basically, well, basic for convenient versatility on big wall climbs. Use it on fixed lines or as a progress capture in hauling systems, knowing that the Basic's stainless steel, toothed cam will stay secure thanks to the self-cleaning slot.
The lower attachment accommodates two carabiners to attach lanyards and foot loops, and can work as a chest ascender, a foot ascender, or a standard harness ascender. The Basic Ascender also has an upper connection hole for guiding ropes more efficiently, and its safety catch provides a good grip.
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)
