Zeluga Quick Up Rope Ascender, Blue Right Hand, 8–13mm Rope, Lightweight 235g with Rubber Grip

The Zeluga 15-295 Quick Up is a right-hand rope ascender that clamps securely on 8–13mm ropes and gives a comfortable, certified handle for single-rope ascent and positioning.

Built from 304 stainless steel and 7075 aluminum with a soft rubber grip, this compact ascender balances low weight (235g) and high strength for climbing, rescue, industrial rope access, and caving. It meets UIAA 126, EN 12841, EN 567 and additional ISO/CE standards, supports loads up to 140 kg (308 lb) and has a tested breaking strength of 8.5 kN. The cam teeth allow smooth upward travel and positive lock when loaded, while multiple attachment points make it easy to rig with carabiners, slings or tethers.

How does the Quick Up ascender make a single-rope climb easier?

The ergonomically shaped handle gives a secure purchase for repeated upward pulls, reducing hand fatigue on longer pitches. The cam mechanism slides smoothly up the rope but locks instantly when loaded, enabling efficient upward progress and secure rest positions.

• Comfortable rubber-covered handle for better grip and reduced abrasion on hands
• Cam with tooth profile that permits one-way travel and positive locking
• Lightweight 235g construction keeps your kit minimal
• Right-hand orientation optimized for standard ascent techniques
