I loved you saying your knee climbing set up just rolls up and “lives” in your chest pouch when not in use. I use the same expression this thing lives here, that thing lives there. My granddaughter picked up on it and uses the same expression to describe where a thing is kept. Generally used to describe the location of tools in this home, I guess it may be a “guy thing” worldwide to say some inanimate object lives here or there. It really was a thing for a while with the wife and quite funny, but now she will say the same thing about where something is kept at times and we all chuckle . Enjoyed your tutorial.
Thanks Phil! 😊 We made another video on how to make your own custom Knee Ascender. In case you wanted one: ruclips.net/video/g_H30rQ4BCU/видео.htmlsi=PbgRcyxKNLa5lcoH
If you put more tension on the bungie cord from the top of the Croll to your chest attachment it would get you a couple more inches of upward movement per step wouldnt it ?
Great video mate, can I ask where you got the tether for the eye to eye at the bottom on the system? Could you just use a bit of throw line? Thanks again
Hey mate! It’s actually a custom tether to perfectly for my height and step. We did a video on making it. I’ll link it below. Let me know how you get on: How to build an SRT Knee Ascender for Tree Climbing ruclips.net/video/g_H30rQ4BCU/видео.html
Thanks mate!! I run a Knut hitch, with a 10mm Donaghys ArmorPrus eye to eye (30inch). Love the 10mm prusik with a Knut. Here’s a link to my exact one 😊🤙 treegear.com.au/collections/gravity-lab/products/donaghys-armor-prus-10mm-stitched-eye-to-eye?variant=25145862216
Great video I am a saddle hunter, can I ascend with this method using srt / grigri and hand ascender with foot loop and knee ascender?? Looks easier than what a I am doing but can I use current equipment
It would be a little slower than this demo if youre using the gri gri. That device wouldn't self tend going up like the set up shown. Its still possible , but not as smooth or fast
Like @justinliedtke5570 said. The Grigri hand ascender method is commonly known as a RAD system. Easier to lift your weight but just takes longer to get the height.

i have the notch chest rig and even maxed out i always end up wrestling to get it over my jacket in the winter , so the easiest way for my impatient ass is to take some 8mil and weave a harness faster than i can try to squeeze in my chest harness and the way i twist and tie it i have good anchor points to use , they need to make harnesses for dudes that are 6’ and 55” chest and then a coat 😂

That was a clear explanation on how a knee ascender works. 👍

Very excited for my saka foldable specifically because of the compact feature
Thanks, that was good to see
Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful! 👍
Thank you so much for the close up and custom ideas.
No worries mate! Anytime 😊🤙

Yeah for sure. For me I do find that smaller steps at a higher frequency help me be efficient. The bigger steps exhausts me quicker 😅

That's a great idea for the knee ascender storage! What hitch do you use with your rope wrench? And how long is the cord? Thanks 😊

Got a question, is it possible to combine hand ascenders and foot/knee ascenders to have a 4 ascender system?
Great question! We may have to try that out…
Great video

How tall are you? I am 5ft 9in tall . I like your method of rope walking. Do you make and sell the knee ascended setup, what would it cost?

Definitely not stuffing the Haas Velox in the chest pocket lol
Very true 😁. They’re a cool piece of kit. I just like how compact this custom setup is though. Completely out the way until you need it.
