Kong Futura Body Chest Ascender

Kong Futura Body Chest Ascender

The Kong Futura Body Chest Ascender is the torso element of Kong's Futura rope-walking system. It weighs 80 g and measures 82 mm. It is built for rope between 9 mm and 11 mm, a narrower window than general-purpose clamps use.

Features and Benefits

The 80 g mass is the point of the Futura range. Rope walking is a repetitive action. Weight on the chest is weight lifted with every single step of a long ascent.

Additionally, the narrow 9 mm to 11 mm rope window is deliberate rather than a limitation. Matching the cam closely to the rope diameters used in caving and rope access gives a cleaner bite. It also gives a smoother feed than a clamp built to swallow anything.

Product-Specific Use Cases

Pair Kong Futura Body Chest Ascender with the Futura Hand and Futura Foot for a full rope-walking setup on long vertical pitches. That configuration is standard in caving. There, ascents are measured in hundreds of metres. Efficiency per step decides how much is left at the top.
