A pair of QUICK STEPS makes ascending a fixed rope or leading simple aid pitches easy. Whether reaching up to clip the next placement, cleaning an aid pitch or juggin' fixed lines you can adjust each foots position relative to the steepness of the pitch for maximum efficiency. Change in angle? No problem - instant DoubleBack buckle adjustment allows you to take in or let out slack as necessary for optimum speed and comfort - plus you don't have to take your foot out of a "rung" and reposition it in another. Buckle is same as used on Petzl Harness, molded STRING abrasion protector included to hold carabiner in upper pocket and elastic cord secures your boot on step. Made in France.
