Petzl Croll chest Ascender S

Reinforced chest ascender for thin to medium-diameter ropes

The Petzl Croll chest ascender designed for rope ascents is lightweight and easy to use. The attachment holes ensure efficient position during ascents. The stainless-steel wear plate improves durability by reinforcing the rope friction zone. Thanks to the wide rope groove, it adapts perfectly to wide diameter, swollen or rigid ropes while limiting friction. It is compatible with ropes measuring 8-11mm in diameter.

It is used with the BASIC ascender or the ASCENSION handled ascender for rope ascents with the lower hole angled to keep the chest ascender flat. The upper hole is for attaching a TORSE shoulder strap to keep the ascender in position. A catch is opened by pinching, for simple, quick manipulation.
