Ascend & Descend


Aspiring Purcell Prusik
Nice as an adjustable personal safety, practice with this somewhere safe before first use.
NB: Colours may differ from photo.

Aspiring Ratchet Prusik
Useful as a sub 10mm single rope auto block as well as its intended use as a ratchet prusik.

Aspiring Standard Prusik

Beal 5mm Prusik
5mm cord is best for really thin ropes, particularly icy ones or those concerned with weight and bulk.

Beal 6mm Prusik
6mm is the normal diameter prusik that makes up 80 - 90% of our sales.

Beal 7mm Prusik
7mm is ideal for use with 11mm ropes and can also be used for bailing off.

Beal Air Step Adjustable Footloop
I like the quick adjustment and it's a comfortable fit.

Beal Jammy

Beal Monitor Mobile Fall Arrest Device
Of these devices this is the best I've seen.

Black Diamond Super 8
A still useful bit of kit, which can be locked off easier than an ATC when abseiling.

Climbing Technology Otto Aluminium Rescue 8
A big figure 8 with large, solid spurs to help stop the rope rolling off.

Climbing Technology Otto Big Figure 8 Descender
A large classic figure 8.

Climbing Technology Otto Curved Figure 8 Descender
Can be used in two modes. The curved shape makes locking off easier and with the V shape the rope is less likely to roll off.

Climbing Technology Quick Up Plus Hand Ascender Left
Probably the best alternative to the Petzl Ascension.

Climbing Technology Quick Up Plus Hand Ascender Right
Probably the best alternative to the Petzl Ascension.

Climbing Technology Roll N Lock
It's a pulley, rope clamp, progress capture and ascender all in one device.

Edelrid Kilo Jul Belay Device
A small compact unit, nice to use.

Fixe Rappel Ring 10mm PLX S/S

ISC Mini Ropegrab with Pip Pin
Ideal for use with single ropes.

Petzl Ascension Left
The gold standard for ascenders, the new model is even better.

Petzl Ascension Right
The gold standard for ascenders, the new model is even better.

Petzl Basic
Solid, multi-purpose ascender.

Petzl Croll S
Possibly the best of this type on the market.

Petzl Footape Foot Loop
Works great with an Ascension and a GriGri.

Petzl Huit
The classic Petzl figure 8.

Petzl Pirana
Great being able to adjust the friction. For rock climbing it works best with a small screwgate such as the Petzl SM'D. NEW MODEL IN STOCK.

Petzl Shunt
A really useful piece of kit, highly recommended.

Petzl Tibloc
Much improved over the older model.

SMC Mountaineering Figure 8
Really like this one - compact and smooth.

Sterling ATS Device
A good, versatile device.

Sterling Hollow Block 2 Loop
Made from aramid (a heat resistant, very strong synthetic fibre) it has excellent gripping power, bites better, highly heat resistant and handles nicely - I would never go back to cord. Two lengths and a choice of colour.

Wild Country Ropeman 2
A small and very grabby device, small teeth should make it less likely to damage a rope.
