Ergonomic handled ascender

The Petzl Ascension is a handled rope clamp design for rope ascents. It features an overmolded, dual-density grip and ergonomic upper part for a comfortable and powerful grip when pulling with one or two hands. The grip has an area for the index finger and a wide, supportive base to keep the hand from slipping. The ergonomic upper part maximizes power when pulling with two hands. It has a wide lower hole for easily attaching two carabiners, one for a lanyard and one for a footloop.
