Favorite Foot Ascender??

[Serf Life]

Ct. Have had them all. And I mean all.

What do you like better with CT vs ISC footie? Have no intention of replacing anytime soon but curious.

The ISC is big and clunky, the straps are harder to get dialed in, the lock snags on stuff, and the body of the ascender tends to pivot unless it is painfully tight. And the dumb release tab came apart when I was taking one off.
The spring is nice and light. It is the only thing I like about it.

Exactly.

I like the CT over the ISC ( I own the ISC ), I just started climbing on a Harken Industrial Ninja, aka Notch JetStep. GAME CHANGER, for me as someone that stands on my footie as a work position point as much I climb with it. I love how it goes on and can kick off, tends effortlessly in almost any situation. While not jumping off much when I don't want it to, a bit of care is needed to move with it. The first climb it was more comfortable, setting the straps was easy. The only downsides are: a bit bulky when jamming my foot in a crotch and the fairlead hook can snag your pant cuff causing a trip.
