The cam is designed to allow the rope to pass through the device even in the first few feet of climbing.
Using the PANTIN with a CROLL and ASCENSION keeps the body in a more upright position when ascending fixed ropes, making for faster and less tiring vertical progress.

Petzl Pantin Foot Ascender Review:
Reviews:
I tried out this right foot Petzl ascender during crevasse rescue training on Rainier a few weeks ago. Great idea, however reuires that you have a load down rope of the ascender or it will raise the slack when moving your leg up and simply pop off the rope. this happened twice when i finally made use of my Petzl handled ascender in combo with a foot prusik. Also, its unlikely that you could easily strap this on to your foot while attempting to make your way out. Recommend that petzel work with boot companies to create a foot ascender clip on the inside of the preffered boot (L/R) for a quick and easy connect. that I would buy. Safe climbing
