Yes they will work on a tripod ladder. Not quite as well as on the floor tho 😂 occasionally the bars at the bottom of the harness will hook in the steps if Side on to the ladder but coming up a inch frees it no bother

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.

Excellent piece of kit 👍
