SRS (Stationary Rope System) is a rope climbing technique where the climber ascends a fixed rope using mechanical devices. The KNEE ASCENT KIT adds a knee-driven rope clamp (PANTIN) connected via an elastic band to the waistbelt, allowing the climber to use leg power to drive ascent — reducing arm fatigue and increasing efficiency. Is this kit compatible with the SEQUOIA PLUS? Yes — the KNEE ASCENT KIT is compatible with both the SEQUOIA (C069ABxx) and SEQUOIA PLUS (C069BBxx). Note that the SEQUOIA PLUS also features an integrated SRS ascent system with a dedicated tube and elastic band built into the waistbelt. What rope does the KNEE ASCENT KIT work with? The kit is compatible with low stretch kernmantle rope in diameters from 7 mm to 13 mm. Can I replace individual components if one wears out? Yes — each component of the kit (PANTIN clamp, elastic band, tube, foot loop, MINO carabiners) is available as a spare part, so you don’t need to replace the full kit. Is the PANTIN clamp right-handed only? The B022AA00 includes the PANTIN right-hand rope clamp. The PANTIN is designed for right-leg use in standard SRS knee ascent technique.
