An ascender employs a cam which allows the device to slide freely in one direction usually the intended direction of movement , and provide a firm grip on the rope when pulled on in the opposite direction. To prevent an ascender from accidentally coming off the rope, a locking mechanism or trigger is deployed. The ascender is first attached to the climber s harness by a piece of webbing or sling, and then is clipped onto the rope and locked. For climbing on a fixed rope attached, for example, to snow anchors on a steep slope, only one ascender is used, keeping the other hand free for holding an ice axe .

Its name comes from the town Crolles where Petzl s company headquarters are located but might also be a reference to the nearby cave system of the Dent de Crolles , The exploration of which triggered a lot of technical effort leading to innovation in caving equipment.

Following these developments, Fernand Petzl started in the 1970s a small caving equipment manufacturing company Petzl .
