Collection: Ascend & Descend

A nice clean unit, a choice of three lengths. NOTE: 30cm and 40cm are BLUE, 50cm is PINK

Nice as an adjustable personal safety, practice with this somewhere safe before first use. NB: Colours may differ from photo. 110cm now pink

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

The sewn join makes for a nice clean catch free prusik. 3 lengths 70cm, 120cm and 170cm NOTE: 70 & 120 are Yellow

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

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

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

I like the quick adjustment and it's a comfortable fit.

Reinforced grip area, allows a two handed grip if required.

Supple, abrasion and melt resistant. Note: strength 22kN. Krab not included.

Of these devices this is the best I've seen.

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

Multi functional rope clamp with pulley. Four distinct modes of operation.

A big figure 8 with large, solid spurs to help stop the rope rolling off.

A large classic figure 8.

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.

Better than the normal ascend if you're using a Grigri or similar with it. Available in Left or Right.

Probably the best alternative to the Petzl Ascension.

Probably the best alternative to the Petzl Ascension.

It's a pulley, rope clamp, progress capture and ascender all in one device.

Useful for anchors, chain or sling.

Ideal for use with single ropes.

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

Solid, multi-purpose ascender.

Possibly the best of this type on the market.

Works great with an Ascension and a GriGri.

The classic Petzl figure 8.

Designed for canyoning, but suitable for other uses. Will only work with a small biner such as the Petzl Sm'D or an Attache.

Use with single or double ropes.

A really useful piece of kit, highly recommended.

Much improved over the older model.

Really like this one - compact and smooth.

A good, versatile device.

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.
