The Petzl Tibloc Rope Clamp in orange is a compact device designed for alpinism, glacier travel, and ski touring. It serves as a lightweight progress capture and hauling aid, allowing climbers to manage rope movement in steep or crevassed terrain without adding bulk to their kit.
Constructed entirely from stainless steel, the Tibloc offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear—a real advantage when you’re operating in snowy or wet environments. It grips ropes between 8 and 11 mm in diameter, making it compatible with the most common alpine and ski-touring lines. At just 35 g, it tucks easily into a harness or gear loop and won’t weigh you down when every gram counts.
The Tibloc carries CE EN 567 and UIAA certification, meaning it meets recognized safety standards for rope-clamp devices used in mountaineering. Its simple cam-action design pinches the rope securely under load and releases smoothly when you need to adjust or descend, giving you reliable performance in technical terrain.
