Ushba Basic Ascender

Compact, lightweight, and easy to use, the Basic Ascender is rope-friendly, extremely strong, and will not slip on icy or muddy ropes. These fail-safe features combine to make it an excellent choice for top-rope solo and self-belay applications. Flawless performance during glacier travel and crevasse rescue, the Basic is unsurpassed for hauling and rigging systems, or as a supplemental ascender. The Basic smoothly moves up and down the rope, yet securely grips with the slightest downward pull. UIAA and CE Certified.

"This unit is absolutely, no-questions asked, ultra-reliable and caught every fall with such surety that I began to consider it a better belayer than anyone on the rest of the team!" - Paul Piana
