I got the dual ascender Eddie the Ascentree and it is just a genius invention, had it maybe 5 or more years. Haven't had much trouble with my Pantins. All this stuff is slick, not just Petzl.

I am gonna try just the marbar hand ascenders didn't care much for the foot deal , I am just disappointed with how the rope spits on the pantin but it may have been me now I step and push my foot behind me much better
That ascentree thing does look pretty sweet. I was looking into those a handful of years ago. I had a pretty good footlock back in the day, but the stupid prussic cord was always a pita - would get a bad wrap on the boots, and have to set my weight on the cord to regroup... then, by the time I would get back to the prussic and loosen it, all the rhythm was gone. I can see where you could really fly with the ascentree (or something similar).
All this is sort of outmoded by the orange toy these days, though. Lol

I have bins full of ascenders that will never see the light of day again. Lol
I thought you didn't even know how to footlock? Lol

I don't. **** is archaic.
What happens if the wraptor throws a rod, Eric has menstrual cramps, and there's a chipper payment due? Seems kinda "archaic" hip-thrusting up multiple prunes. Lol. Just saying..

I suppose some of the ascenders in my bin may then find the light of day.What happens if the wraptor throws a rod, Eric has menstrual cramps, and there's a chipper payment due? Seems kinda "archaic" hip-thrusting up multiple prunes. Lol. Just saying..
Lmao. What is it then, the little foot kicky deal gets busy. A pantin, is it called? Lol

Have at least two of those, mar bars, 1 dual handle, and several cmi single ascenders. Bought them off the guy that sold me the grcs and 390xp. Think I spent $1325 on everything. Lol
Yawn. **** off now, you're ruining my buzz. Lol.

pretty sure the pantin is designed so you can get in and out of them at will pretty easily while climbing.
