Ondřej Belica / Climbing CZ sro sent me a pair of Singing Rock Foot Lift ascenders in 2022.
The Singing Rock Foot Lift is 54 mm. tall, 72 mm. wide, 30 mm. thick, and weighs 120 g bare and 161 g. including the supplied harness. The body is stamped from aluminum alloy. The stamping is bent to form a 15 mm. rope channel at the heel side and a cam channel at the toe side. A steel plate riveted to the back of the ascender has two slots at the bottom and two at the rear provide secure attachment for the supplied harness.
The cam is cast steel. The cam radius increases from 37 to 55 mm. over an angle of 36°, giving a 33° cam angle. The tooth pattern is (3)(4.1H1)^3(2.2.3.3). There is a spring-loaded plastic safety catch riveted below the cam.
The Foot Lift comes with a harness made from 15x4 mm. webbing webbing. One piece of webbing circles the ankle, another goes under the instep. Two round rings allow adjusting the strap around the ankle. The strap under the foot is adjusted at the ascender slots. A piece of tubular webbing under the foot protects the harness webbing.
The front is printed with a rectangle containing an up-pointing arrow, "singing rock, "Ø8-13mm13 mm," and either "L" or "R" (depending on the foot). The rear is printed with either "FootLift Left" or "FootLift Right" (depending on the foot), a book-with-an-"i" icon, "0077RK8071222" on the left-foot ascender ("0236RK8070622" on the right), and a scanner code.
The stainless steel back plate makes the Singing Rock Foot Lift is heavier than some other foot ascenders that connect the harness directly to the shell, but it also eliminates having the cam rub across the webbing (possibly causing it to stick).
Foot ascenders such as this don't fit into the climbing systems that I commonly use, although I have met froggers that seem to like them (but they also like the frog).

Hundreds of cell phone users complained and asked me to for a simpler, mobile friendly site. In particular, they wanted me to limit each page to a small number of pictures and minimize my use of text. This new site provides what they asked for.
