Jet Step Foot Ascender

The Jet Step Foot Ascender from NOTCH Equipment is a revolutionary foot ascender with a unique **double-cam design** that provides lower spring pressure and minimised friction for smooth and efficient ascent in the trees. The toothless cam system almost completely eliminates rope wear while significantly increasing grip strength on wet, muddy or frozen rope, making it ideal for arborists in tough conditions.

This ambidextrous design can be used on both the right and left foot, with a Y-shaped under-strap that reduces movement on the foot and fairleads that prevent the ascender from kicking out of the rope – yet it is easy to fit and remove. Weighing under 230 grams and compatible with rope 8-13 mm, the Jet Step offers a self-feeding function that requires minimal rope on the ground to start climbing. "This is the smoothest functioning foot ascender I´ve ever used. I love it." – Kevin Bingham, Singing Tree owner and Rope Wrench/Rope Runner inventor.
