The Petzl Tibloc is a compact and ultra-lightweight ascender for use on rope ascents, hauling systems or friction knot replacement in self-rescue situations. The Tibloc has an automatic system that presses the karabiner against the rope to start the braking action. To work well, the original Tibloc should be used with a round bar karabiner. Whilst the new version with the plastic easy release mechanism will work with most karabiners we recommend the Petzl Attache.

The Heightec Pulsar (X-Cam) is a handled ascender for use in rope access. It has been found to be 25% stronger than its most popular sharp toothed competitor, with a breaking load of up to 675kg. Heightec X-Cam ascenders will significantly reduce the possibility of a complete system failure by exerting a considerable hold on a rope after the sheath has broken. It is available in both right and left handed versions.

The4 Kong Cam Clean has been constructed with the latest range of Kong blockers. Providing an excellent ability to lock even on muddy and icy ropes. This is achieved by the holes on the cam. The opening lever is ergonomic and easy to use, protected from shocks and the risk of accidental opening. New materials and production methods provide a much higher surface hardness resulting in greater wear resistance and less fragility.

The Climbing Technology Ascender Simple + is a right hand rope clamp for ascending, hauling, and rescuing. The lever can be opened using one hand making installation and removal from the rope quick and easy. The cam is made of steel to be resistant to wear, yet the main body is an aluminium alloy to keep the device lighter in weight.

The SafeTec ENForcer-H is a non-aggressive device and during correct operational use it will not damage ropes. In emergency deployment with the exception of very minor glazing a properly used EN Forcer will lock on to the Back-Up rope without causing serious damage to itself, its lanyard, karabiners or to the rope.

The Climbing Technology Chest Ascender + is a chest ascending device to capture progress as you move up a rope. This is made specific by the angle manufactured into the lower connection hole, so that the device remains parallel to the user while working. The cam is made of steel to increase wear resistance throughout the devices life, while the body is an aluminium alloy to keep the weight down to 147g.

The Kong Futura Body is designed to be used with a full body or chest harness in order to stay secured to the rope whilst ascending. Best used in conjunction with other ascenders for feet and hands. Small size and weight make it easy to carry with you caving, climbing or mountaineering.

Ergonomics and comfort were priorities when designing the Beal Hands Up handled ascender. It is equipped with a reinforced grip area, making it more comfortable and practical. This design allows a two-handed grip during rope ascents: on the side under the trigger as well as on the top. The opening of the cam is facilitated by an ergonomic offset lever. This control mechanism is made entirely of metal for durability.
