  
Petzl's Basic Ascender has most of the features found in the Ascension, except, it does not have a handle. Its chrome steel autolocking cam gives an optimal grip on the rope and slides upward very easily. The Basic is used for rope climbing or for self-belaying on fixed ropes. It is also ideal as an anti-return device for hauling systems.
