Foot ascender

[Harry_L]

Just how good is a foot ascender with something like a hitch climber?

 

Thanks

Damn site easier than hip thrusting...

Much easier. Team it with a knee ascender as well and your away.

 

Just having the foot makes ascending in open air so much easier

After you get one you will never climb without it. It is the first and most basic super boost you can add for ascending.

Open air ascents great and as hungry squirrel says team up with a knee acsender... a must really for SRT climbing but still good on a double rope.

Even close to the stem they are very useful, I use one foot to hold me out from the stem and the other to ascend. With the hitch climber its self tending too so all your hands need to do is keep you upright.

Hi Harry can recommend a ct one, if you get a petzl I think you need a locking krab to stop the rope popping out, I did try a stein the other week and it seemed to keep going in to neutral? If your foot was at the wrong angle,

 

A knee ascender is also great as as you load both legs not just one
