The Petzl Basic is a light and compact, multi-purpose ascender that can be used for a variety of rope ascents.
Offering excellent grip and working on single ropes from 8-11mm, the Petzl Basic is often carried by climbers and mountaineers for emergency use. Small and light it's a great versatile choice for rescue and hauling situations where a full handled ascender might be overkill.

I bought this not primarily for climbing, but climbing the mast of my boat - where weight isn't important, but security and cost are! I've been pleasantly surprised - the unit is lighter than I expected, so I probably will use it crossing glaciers in the Alps, it's beautifully engineered and really, unless you're intending to jug your way up El Cap, it seems a perfectly good, decently priced ascendeur that will work in any number of environments.
