Foot Ascender's

Interesting...been getting on fine with my pantin but I do get the occasional kick out, esp. at the beginning of a climb. Will look into these alternatives

After I got my CT Quickstep I retired my Pantin. Just got tired of the rope popping out of the Pantin on every Climb.

It may work well but the CT is easier to use therefore better for an arborist.

Nice one Tim. I've ordered some Velcro to try and do mine but it's being shipped from Neptune or somewhere. I'll get the drill out!

New petzl pantin utter crap.

Might as well eh.......it turns a semi-useless bit of kit into something half decent, especially for a long ascent into the crown.

 

Petzl should be ashamed of themselves. They've ruined the Pantin with the latest design.

Funny. I've always defended it when using it ddrt. With a bit of technique refinements it was okay. On SRT however it's total wank. Petzl don't seem to be so hot recently.

I knew it needed drilling off, just couldn't work out what to do after, thought it would be bend round some coathanger wire or something, the dog snap is ideal.

the velcro is ok if it stays glued on, but that looks easier and quicker, good tip
