Thera band knee ascender

Old big shot tubing would work to.
I used 1/2" tubing and 5/8 rope cover
Easy build with simple seizing
Easy dismantle to repurpose ascender
Speed link and bow shackle to jacket to ascender
Very compact
Happy Sunday

Okay RS, I have a question? Did you run the rubber tubing in the foot loop, as well? Also, the small split ring on the foot loop, is it really necessary? Seems that it would be sturdier without it, IMO.

Good thought on the foot loop! I just fit it for my boot so that it rolls off with a rub on a limb and fom my other foot. The ring makes it easier to roll it on/off and finger pull. Really a lot the times that Is easier than bending and flexing to detach. Simple kick off. I alway use sternal ascender when going up.
Easy to make one with old cobra cable or hollow braid rope. 16 strand or more for less snagging

Clever build. Have you used it allready?

Few times as is and once with the tube doubled over. Doubled over was redundant, needed bit more effort and snagged.
Thanks for input.
