Edelrid Prostep Foot Loop Ascender - 170 cm

Edelrid Prostep Foot Loop Ascender - 170 cm

The Edelrid Prostep Foot Loop Ascender - 170 cm is a length-adjustable webbing foot loop for rope ascent. It gives you a step to stand in so your legs carry the work your arms would otherwise do. Edelrid designs it to run alongside a Hand Cruiser ascender on the rope.

Features and Benefits

The Slide Block buckle sets the loop to your leg length and holds it there. Get the height right and each stand-up lands in the same place, which is what turns a slow ascent into a rhythm you can hold for a full pitch.

Additionally, the 20 mm (0.8 in) polyester webbing is wide enough to spread load across the sole of your boot instead of cutting into it. Polyester also holds its length under load better than nylon, so the step you set is the step you get.

Moreover, at 170 cm (67 in) the loop suits a wide range of leg lengths and rigging positions, and it packs down to nothing when you are not on the rope.

Product-Specific Use Cases

This Edelrid Prostep Foot Loop Ascender - 170 cm ascent hardware for fixed lines and rescue work rather than a crag purchase. It fits rope access training on the walls around Dubai, and self-rescue practice on the longer routes in the Hajar range where a jammed rappel means going back up. It also earns a place in a caving or canyon kit for the wadis on the east coast.
