Our verdict

A foot ascender that helps keep the climber upright on rope ascents, used together with a chest or hand rope clamp. It is sold for one foot, and rope work needs proper training.

Overview

Climbing a rope upright is the job of this Petzl foot ascender, which pairs with CROLL or ASCENSION rope clamps. A DoubleBack buckle tightens the strap by hand rather than by ratchet, and a stainless steel cam with self-cleaning slots grips the rope.

Rope climbers get an ascender designed to make ascents faster and less tiring. The listing covers both the Classic and the updated model, so the version and foot side should be checked before buying.

Who it's for

Trained climbers and arborists who ascend ropes with a Petzl clamp and want a foot loop will use it. It is not a stand-alone device, and a left-footed climber needs the other side.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Eases upright rope ascents
  • Manual DoubleBack strap adjustment
  • Stainless steel cam resists corrosion
  • Self-cleaning slots keep grip
Cons
  • Sold for the right foot
  • Needs a separate rope clamp
  • No ratchet strap system

Performance notes

The cam bites the rope when weight is applied and releases when the foot is lifted, so the climber's leg does more of the work. Self-cleaning slots help the cam grip when rope is dirty, and the strap needs to be set by hand.
