Good question! At the very least, from a quick look at the tech. notices, they differ in their certifications.

ASCENSION SPORT lists:
- CE 0197
- EN567:1997
- UIAA

ASCENSION PRO lists:
- CE 0197
- EN567:1997
- EN12841:2006
- NFPA 1983 - 2006

These pictures may over-explain the differences from one Petzl Ascension to another, and covers <u>all</u> versions of the Petzl Ascension since they were brought onto the market.

The most recent editions (bottom of the page) look the coolest, Check it out and scroll down to the Petzl Ascension area 2/3 of the way down the page (listed alphabetically).
