PETZL SHUNT ASCENDER
Designed for the zip line enthusiast who needs to climb a series of steps or ladder rungs to reach their launch platform. It's a bit intimidating to climb up ten or more feet without being tied to a rope to prevent you from falling. The Petzl Shunt Ascender can be attached to a safety rope allowing the rider to climb a ladder or steps without risk of falling. Should the rider slip or fall, friction is applied which acts just like a brake.
Features
A mechanical rope brake device for climbing to platforms that are higher than four feet off the ground.
Easy to retrieve, simply attach a string beforehand to the Ascender and from the ground give a little tug to the string after the rider has already launched off the zip line.
Keeps riders connected to the rope until they reach the launch platform.
Works with single and double ropes up to 10 mm.
Note: Does not include rope or string for retrieval.
