PETZL TIBLOC ASCENDER B01

Petzls Tibloc an extremely lightweight and compact emergency ascender and rope clamp. The dual use Tibloc from Petzel strong, durable and lightweight, and can be used as both an emergency ascender and as a rope capture device in a hauling situation, such as in crevasse rescues. A chrome plated steel cam with angled teeth and self-cleaning slot grips the rope securely, even in muddy or icy conditions giving you peace of mind that even in bad weather situations you have gear that can handle it. Though the teeth may look quite aggressive, and while they may pick at the sheath, the core will still be protected and not squashed, unlike with mechanical ascenders. It can be used with a locking carabiner for ascending ropes or setting up as a progress capture device in a hauling situation. As an emergency ascender, it can be used to build hauling systems or as a friction-knot replacement in self-rescue situations, and should be used with Petzls Ultralegere pulley for an ideal lightweight, compact emergency hauling kit. As an emergency rope clamp, the Tibloc an efficient piece of basic equipment that allows rope access workers or rescuers to create rope ascent or haul systems. The Tibloc features a small hole at the top to allow a keeper cord to be attached.
