Petzl Basic Compact Ascender B18BAA

Handy and dandy this Petzl compact rope clamp has an excellent grip. So versatile it can be used to ascend a fixed rope, or as progress capture in a hauling system. The toothed cam with self-cleaning slot optimizes performance under any conditions (e.g. rope that is icy, muddy, etc.). The stainless steel cam has better resistance to corrosion for those of us that battle the weather in our jobs. Wide lower hole allows lanyard and foot loop carabiners to be easily connected. Upper hole for clipping a carabiner around the rope adds to the features of this ascender.
