I use a ct foot ascender as a knee one. Just undo the section of webbing that goes under your foot, put a tool clip on it and hook to a foot loop, put some padding on the back (I still need to do this) and put it on round your knee, all for around £30.

 

been using this for a couple of years, with a foot ascender on the other foot.

 

The one shown with the fixed link between foot and the ascender looks bulky and will get in the way in the tree. 

Can't see how it will get in the way anymore than the shank of a spike

That was my fault.  I googled it and that was the first thing that came up ?

 

Looks pretty neat that it stays in place without getting in the way like the haas

 

 

I’ve always made my own. 4mm spliced dyneema, croll and dyneema shock cord.

What's the clip on the bungee side called. I like the look of it ?

It’s a Kong frog. I’ve had them since being in the RM. Never found another use for it since they came off my C8 sling. Tough little things though.

the systeme 3A knee ascender is the one piece of kit I will not find myself without. 
 

I have seen the loop wearing out (which it does within 2yrs of owniing and will become impossible Le to use) and immediately ordered another because I just can’t bear even the thought of climbing anything from 5m to 50m without my beloved systeme 3A knee ascender. I’ll fight anyone who says any different serious what are ya looking at? . Nah seriously mate. Don’t go there. I have contemplated getting rid of the missus and putting a ring on the systeme 3A knee ascender if only it lasted longer than 2 hrs with the spliced foot loop (floop if you will…). Not that my other relationships last that long.

I used my girlfriend's 3A ascender the other day and it is great. Smoother than my home made version!
