STRYDER Foot Ascender Left

Description

The ISC Stryder Foot Ascender is a professional‑grade climbing accessory built with direct input from arborists and rope‑access professionals. Designed for efficient, low‑fatigue vertical ascents, the Stryder combines robust materials with thoughtfully engineered cam geometry — delivering smooth upward movement, strong and secure rope engagement, and long-lasting durability.

Key Features:

• Rope compatibility: Made for ropes 8–13 mm (5/16″ – 1/2″) — ideal for typical arborist climbing lines.

• Strong & light: Minimum breaking strength (MBS) of 2.5 kN (562 lbf); total weight approx 198 g (7 oz) including strap.

• Secure rope grip with minimal wear: Coned‑cam face grips firmly with minimal abrasion to rope sheath.

• Ergonomic foot‑operable design: Cam lever is operated by foot for easy ascents, can be removed to allow a wider cam pivot range — handy if you prefer to disengage the rope using a “kick‑off” method.

• Adjustable & stable fit: Webbing straps are fully adjustable (horizontal and vertical), and use abrasion‑resistant, creep‑free webbing that holds the ascender firmly on your boot during use.

• Compact & easy to handle: Small size (approx 75 × 52 × 25 mm / 3 × 2 × 1″) affords easy handling and portability.

Typical Uses:

• Arborist tree climbing (SRT or DRT systems)

• Rope‑access or maintenance work requiring foot‑ascender climbing

• Situations needing efficient vertical ascents with minimal fatigue

• Any work-at-height scenario where a reliable foot ascender is preferred over manual foot‑locking

Important Note:
This device is not certified for use as PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) — it is designed for positioning/ascending assistance, not as a fall‑arrest or personal safety device. Always use in conjunction with proper safety equipment, anchors, and procedures.
