The Climbing Technology Quick Step A is an ascender for the right or left foot, when used in conjunction with an ascender handle (e.g. QUICK’UP+ or QUICK’ARBOR H) or a chest ascender (e.g. CHEST ASCENDER HC), makes it easier and speeds up the ascent of a rope.
When tested on new Tectra 11 mm low stretch rope, these handled ascenders were found to be 25% stronger than their most popular sharp toothed competitor, with average breaking loads up to 675 kg for X-cams versus 535 kg for the established design.
Constructed with the latest range of Kong blockers. Providing an excellent ability to lock even on muddy and icy ropes. This is achieved by the holes on the cam. The opening lever is ergonomic and easy to use, protected from shocks and the risk of accidental opening. New materials and production methods provide a much higher surface hardness resulting in greater wear resistance and less fragility.
The Kong Futura Body is designed to be used with a full body/chest harness in order to stay secured to the rope whilst ascending. Best used in conjunction with other ascenders for feet and hands. Small size and weight make it easy to carry with you caving, climbing or mountaineering.
