Climbing Technology Quick Step A Boot Ascender
Climbing Technology Quick Step A Foot Ascender
The Quick Step A is a light, compact and efficient foot ascender for arborists and rope access work. A patented, unobtrusive cam release system is housed within the body of the ascender, so it stays out of the way while you climb the rope on foot.
A protective sheath covers the underfoot webbing, which is fully adjustable for correct positioning under the boot. It suits rope from 8 mm to 13 mm and its cam grips reliably even on dirty or icy ropes, where a less aggressive ascender can slip. At just 165 g it is an easy addition to a climbing system. Note that Climbing Technology do not rate the Quick Step A as personal protective equipment: it is a climbing aid used alongside a certified ascender and a separate fall arrest system, never as a means of support or protection on its own. Browse more ascenders and descenders, the wider rope access range, or other Climbing Technology gear. It pairs with the Roll N Lock captive pulley and the ISC RAD rope adjustment device.

What is a foot ascender for?
A foot ascender clips to the boot and grips the rope, so a climber can push up with the leg while ascending a fixed rope, which makes climbing faster and less tiring than using hand ascenders alone.
What rope does the Quick Step take?
It suits rope from 8 mm to 13 mm, and the self cleaning cam is designed to grip reliably even on dirty or icy ropes. Ferno list it as suited to 11 mm rope, which sits in the middle of that range.
Is the webbing adjustable?
Yes. The underfoot webbing is fully adjustable for correct positioning under the boot, is covered with a protective sheath and is reinforced underneath with tubular webbing. The whole ascender weighs 165 g.
Is the Quick Step A certified?
No. Climbing Technology do not rate it as personal protective equipment. It is a climbing aid used with a hand or chest ascender to speed up a rope ascent, and it must always be used alongside a separate certified fall arrest or rope access system.
Which foot does it fit?
Order 2D654S for the left foot, which is grey, or 2D654D for the right foot, which is orange. Many climbers run one on each foot with a hand ascender.
