Jet Step Foot Ascender

The Jet Step Foot Ascender from NOTCH Equipment is a revolutionary foot ascender with a unique dual cam design that provides lower spring tension and minimized friction for smooth and efficient ascent in trees. The toothless cam system almost completely eliminates rope wear while significantly increasing grip strength on wet, muddy, or frozen ropes, 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 understrap that reduces movement on the foot and fairleads that prevent the ascender from kicking out of the rope – yet it's easy to attach and remove. Weighing under 230 grams and compatible with ropes 8-13 mm, the Jet Step offers a self-regulating function that requires minimal rope on the ground to start the climb. "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.
