Petzl Tibloc Ultralight Emergency Ascender description The Petzl Tibloc Ultralight Ascender serves so many purposes that it has a place on nearly any long rock climb, aid climb, or alpine climb. This simple 1.4-ounce ascender pairs with an oval-stock carabiner to create a self-locking pulley for bag hauling, crevasse rescue, or aiding a partner up a pitch. It can also be used as an ascender if you need to climb a rope to free a rappel or just can't follow a burly pitch. The Petzl Tibloc Ultralight Ascender also serves a multitude of uses in self-rescue situations. |
Lightweight, reliable
fusionboy: 
Great way to rig up a crevasse rescue setup.
easy button
JohnGchrist: 
easier than a prusik but not as cheap, prusik is nicer on the rope as well I will stick with the extra cord on the harness.
Ascend quickly, carry no extra weight!
Joel G:
I love my tiblocs. I generally prefer not to carry extra equipment on me, so after trying various ascenders (for canyoneering, so I'm not doing huge ascents), my preference was various cord ascenders (bachman/prusik/valdotain/french braid)... until I encountered a particularly difficult 200 ft ascent, and now I'm 100% happy using the tiblocs. They go over edges very nicely and add no weight to your harness. Caveat - use a small accessory cord so you don't drop the tibloc, since you have to take it off your biner to clip it to the rope. AND, make sure the biner is set in place before you weight the tibloc EACH TIME you move it - or you'll have a messed up hairy rope!
