HOW TO - Install the KNEE ASCENT

The KNEE ASCENT offers climbers an efficient means of accessing the canopy of a tree when using a stationary rope system. It’s used in conjunction with the ZIGZAG or ZIGZAG PLUS, the CHICANE and PANTIN foot ascender. It consists of an elasticized upper strap, an ascender, and a lower strap foot loop, and it can be easily stored in XS TOOLBAG when not in use.
In this video, Nate, from the Petzl Technical Institute, is going to look at how to install and fit the KNEE ASCENT.

[@jennyhernandez2508]

can one use the knee ascent with other chest rigs

[@kayakmaccaz9256]

Can you use this on any knee

[@krzysztofelektryk]

Wow

[@dieselrigs1]

Can it be used with a eye to eye Prussik example with a swabisch hitch or distil hitch

[@hartshorn95]

Most likely yes

[@martincotebrazeau]

Can you use it in rope access with the Pantin and the Croll?

[@bryantm6]

Problem with this setup is that youd only be attached to the croll and that isn't sufficient for rope access standards.

[@thebull54kp]

Yes just use a backup device such as an asap on a separate rope

[@Saltspringlollygagger]

The strap that comes over the shoulder, what is that attached to? It’s way to short to to reach the back of my harness, or go over a shoulder.

[@petzlprofessional]

Hello, in the 1st part of the video, the installation is well explained. Did you try to adjust the length of the KNEE ASCENT?

[@lobotreecare]

Will this small loop accommodate chainsaw boot's?

[@hartshorn95]

Yes

[@kelldaniel654]

Petzl… give me a job in the PTI…please?

[@chepec25]

Can we do it without the chicane ?

[@hartshorn95]

No
