Will's Review of Petzl Pantin Foot Ascender
The Pantin is okay if you're not trying to make tree climbing full time where production and efficiency are the name of the game. The reason the Pantin slows me down is because the rope doesn't like to stay seated in the cam when you're foot is moving up too quickly or slightly at an angle. The rope just can pop out too easily. And you notice this while moving quick on the rope. It's unfortunate because otherwise this product is a fantastic piece of gear. The straps and buckles are high quality and not liable to slip off the boot or tear up.
Pros:
- Cheap
- Lightweight
- good for beginners
Cons:
- Not for all day climbing
- Not for Professionals
Best Used for:
- Occasional Use
- Back-Up gear
Would Recommend:
No
