Kong Duck
£32.00

Kong Duck

Kong Duck micro ascender. Probably the cutest piece of technical metalware, in the world... The Duck is a sprung cam jammer which will work on ropes of diameter 8mm - 13mm. It will also (we think uniquely) grip on tubular or doubled tape slings. At only 70g, and measuring under 6.5cm on its longest axis, it has a place in the gear of all vertical cavers or mountaineers. Very versatile, it can be considered for: 1. a spare jammer in case of loss or rescue; 2. a hand jammer in an ultra...
Kong Futura hand LEFT
£43.00

Kong Futura hand LEFT

Kong Futura Hand jammer. A very lightweight and compact handled jammer from this innovative Italian company. The Futura works on ropes from 8mm - 12mm, and runs very smoothly. The rope contact surface is very large, running the full length of the 'handle' (14cm) This model is designed for left handed use. The hand positioning is unusual, in that it simulates holding the rope, but *underneath* the point of connection, rather than above it; it is quite dissimilar to both standard handled, and...

Petzl Ascension LEFT

Petzl Ascension LEFT

Petzl Ascension jammer. A handled version of the Basic hand jammer, especially favoured by those wearing thick gloves (mountaineers) or just with big hands...Made for those who want a left handled model. The latest model has a moulded and padded handle (with two lower attachment holes, both sized for a small krab or maillon; unlike the basic). Heavier than the Basic, but more comfortable for some, and giving a longer reach. Also slightly facilitates some pitch head hauls in improvised rescues....

Petzl Basic 2013
£37.00

Petzl Basic 2013

Petzl Basic 2013 version. Lighter and more compact(by about 1/3) than the versions we have used for the last few decades; a significant innovation from Petzl of a core product. New cam (longer and narrower) for tenacious grip on ropes from 8mm - 11mm. Stainless steel cam for corrosion resistance with alloy body. This Basic ascender is quite different from the preceding version in the way it sits in the hand. The larger clip in hole is useful for cavers using the continental method of keeping...
Petzl Croll
£34.00

Petzl Croll

Petzl Croll ascender. Essentially the centre piece of ascent in SRT as it is carried out in Europe today, the Croll is a very effective chest jammer. The cam is effectively self cleaning, and the angled body of the Croll makes it sit flat against the chest when used in conjunction with a standard sit harness and chest harness. The Croll is a sprung - cam jammer, gripping well on most ropes of 8 - 13mm diameter. This product is continually being tweaked towards perfection - the latest version...

£39.00

Petzl Croll 2013

Petzl Croll 2013 version. Lighter and more compact(by about 1/3) than the versions we have used for the last few decades; a significant innovation from Petzl of a core product. New cam (longer and narrower) for tenacious grip on ropes from 8mm - 11mm. Stainless steel plate reduces friction an improves wear; especially useful for those Pantin users whose technique wears the front plate of the jammer more quickly. Weight 85g, alloy frame, stainless steel cam and wear plate.
Petzl Pantin LEFT
£44.00

Petzl Pantin LEFT

Petzl Pantin foot ascender. Jammer suited for the left foot. A very useful accessory for ascending long or awkward pitches. The Pantin is designed to run up the rope particularly smoothly, and to disengage easily when passing rebelays or at pitch heads. Generally held to keep a more upright and efficient prussiking posture - this saves energy, or improves speed; or both! Also very helpful in that it ensures that the Croll chest ascender runs over the rope reliably (using the Pantin on the rope...

Petzl Pantin spare strap

Petzl Pantin spare strap. Simple to fit, kevlar reinforced. Another useful expedition spare.
Petzl Shunt Ascender
£39.50

Petzl Shunt Ascender

Petzl Shunt ascender. Actually, as a lever cam device it can act as both a jammer and a safeguarder of abseiling. Basically it is useful if you are likely to encounter: 1. Very muddy ropes, because the grip is due to weight being placed on the Shunt, which the device transmits to the rope - unlike most sprung cam jammers, which rely primarily on the teeth on the cam gripping the rope. 2. Icy ropes, for the reasons as above. In each case the Shunt is best used as a hand jammer. 3. A fixed rope...
