In detail
A chest ascender can be added to the HCMH II system via two bespoke slings that allow it to be connected between the waist harness belay loop and the chest harness connection point - this can be done both over and under a plate carrier.
This sling system allows the chest ascender to be added and removed quickly.
Any chest ascender can be used but field use has led us to recommend the Kong Futura chest ascender as it occupies minimal space on the front of the plate carrier. Of the larger size chest ascenders, we have found the Camp Turbo runs very smoothly.
The Kong Futura Body is a lightweight and compact chest ascender, offering advantages for ascending in constricted spaces and when a high connection point is required. It is suitable for rope diameters of 9-11mm.
Weighing just 80g and occupying minimal space when run over the top of a plate carrier, the device allows users to run their chest rigs with minimal change.
The connection holes are twisted through 90 degrees so that the unit lies flat against your chest to allow movement in tight places. The cam profile and body shape has been designed to let the rope slide through the device with minimal friction.
