Petzl Basic

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.

• 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)
• Upper connection hole for guiding the rope
