Ultralight Rescue Improvement — Petzl Tibloc

The Petzl Tibloc for years has been a go-to ultralight ascender and rescue device. This year, it gets an upgrade. Using a spring action that forces the rope into the teeth of the block, this model can no longer slip off a rope, and it provides positive grip instantly.

It’s a small tweak to the design that will make a big difference in the anxious moments of glacier rescue or dicy rope-work. The product weighs just ounces and takes up no room on a rack — we know it’ll be on ours.
