PRODUCT TYPEKnee Ascender

The SAKA is the most efficient, functional, and versatile knee ascender available. Use it straight from the package or customize it to fit your needs.

The SAKA uses a great ascender with progressive tooth pattern and a rope friendly spring. Will work on common Arborist Climbing Rope sizes, from 9mm to 13mm.

  • Super-stretch bungee with Dyneema cover & solid rubber core improves performance and wear-resistance
  • Non-load-bearing doubled bungee stiff tether for quick rebound and easy bungee replacement
  • The load-bearing tether is adjustable to meet any reasonable stride or climbing conditions
  • Elastic 'sock' on the tether stows away excess bungee cord
  • Easily stored; so compact it can be carried in a pocket!
  • Adjustable foot loop
  • Band on top stitch for better connection
  • Velcro on both sides of housing tether - keeps ascender oriented
  • Use with or without bungee guide
  • Weighs only 10oz!

Works great as always

by Micah -

Works great as SAKAs always have. I only wish they made a version with slightly shorter webbing

Solid gear

by Jeremy -

I am new to SRT climbing and this was my first knee ascender. Lots of thoughts and consideration went into this decision and I am very happy with it! It tends smooth and made ascending a breeze! Now to just strengthen some arm muscles I didn’t realize I was lacking in.
