The Petzl EXO AP HOOK Escape System is a personal escape system designed for situations where a reliable anchor point may be difficult or impossible to find. Featuring a multipurpose HOOK anchor hook, self-braking system and anti-panic function, it is designed for controlled emergency evacuation, including rapid horizontal movement, exiting through a window and controlled descent.

Versatile HOOK Anchor Hook

The multipurpose HOOK anchor hook provides greater flexibility when conventional anchor points are uncertain. It can be used around a suitable structure and secured with a locking hitch, or placed on a window sill as a last-resort anchoring option.

Because of the specialized nature of this system, Petzl emphasizes that proper training is essential before using the EXO AP HOOK.

Self-Braking System with Anti-Panic Function

The EXO AP HOOK incorporates a self-braking system designed to provide controlled movement during emergency escape operations. It can be used for:

• Rapid horizontal movement
• Going out through a window
• Controlling and stopping a descent
• Limiting the force transmitted to the user during a fall

The integrated anti-panic function provides an additional level of control: if the user pulls too hard on the handle during descent, the system automatically brakes and stops the descent.

High-Temperature-Resistant Aramid Rope

The system includes a 15 m static aramid fiber rope with a 7.5 mm diameter. Aramid construction provides resistance to abrasion and high temperatures, making the rope suitable for demanding escape applications.

Petzl also offers replacement EXO AP HOOK ropes, helping extend the usable life of the system.

Integrated Am’D Connector and Carry Bag

The EXO AP HOOK comes with an Am’D connector equipped with a CAPTIV positioning bar. The CAPTIV system helps keep the connector correctly positioned and integrated with the device during use.

A fire-resistant carry bag is included for transporting the system and attaching it directly to the harness. Other rope lengths and connector configurations, including EASHOOK OPEN, can be supplied by special order.

Durable and Serviceable Design

The EXO AP HOOK uses aramid, aluminum, stainless steel, nylon and steel components to provide durability for demanding professional applications. Petzl currently identifies the system as repairable and provides replacement parts to help extend its service life.
