I suspect it would. It didn't really give me any trouble, so I was just gonna let it wear naturally, and I anticipated it would hold firmer over time. I haven't used it since I got the saka. My work setup is just in case I need to get in a tree and I don't have my main gear. That hasn't happened...

I don't have a collection of old gear like most of you have, so I had to buy the parts mostly. I got a really good deal on the CMI ascender, which is why that was used. It's also what makes it kind of suck. That's a big and heavy chunk of aluminum, and it would bang against my knee any time it...

That folds up really nice! Since this thread was made, I bought a foldable saka. My homemade one worked ok, but it wasn't nice, and I wanted something nice, so my homemade version is in my truck setup, and the saka is with my primary gear.

Do you all favor locking or non locking ascenders? Locking is the only kind I've used, and prefer them at least philosophically. I want my gear to stay where I put it til I explicitly decide to remove it. It adds a step to removal, but I don't find it overly burdensome. I have nothing to compare...

I agree with the little steps. When I first tried it, I was going for maximum stride, and it made it way more difficult than it needed to be. I now use a step that almost feels too small, but it gets you up the rope fast and easy. edit: Re the allusion to stairs. A lot of us will go up stairs...

Mine sits right at my knee. I don't have strong feelings about it, but it does bang my knee when unclipped. Not a big deal with yours, but my ascender is heavy as hell, and a little irritating.
