HAAS knee ascender.

[James Atkinson]

Those who have made there own haas, is it possible do you think to use a kong hand ascender instead if a croll? Or will it be too bulky?

BULKY!! petzl basic looks to be the most streamlined. The futura doesnt seem to like getting loaded at much of an angle either which sometimes happens if you kick out rather than down.. Ive had my futura slip on the line before when used as an upper ascender passing branches..

I've been tinkering around with a knee ascender system for a while now, while the concept is great, my set up is not the best. I would really like to have a haas, but can't justify the money at the moment.

At the moment I have the foot loop girth hitched to the bottom hole of a croll, and the bungee girthed to the top hole. Upside is being able to use croll for other things, down sides, very clunky and limited travel.

I'm going to try splicing the foot loop to the croll in the same manner as the haas but it looks like the climbing line will rub on the splice of the foot loop.

Is this going to be a problem?

Then there is the bungee thing ),

I used a small mallon mate. Don't fancy metal to cord on the edge of the croll
