“This video demonstrates a top-rope solo setup using the CAMP Lift as the primary progress capture device. The reviewer chose the Lift because it lacks teeth, which should prevent rope damage. A drawback noted is its 100kg weight rating, meaning it shouldn't be shock-loaded and requires a backup. For the setup to work smoothly, the rope needs to be weighted at the bottom. The reviewer finds the setup safe for their personal use due to familiarity with the gear and building in redundancy.”

“This comparison video notes that while both the GrandWall uAscend and CAMP Lift are similar, the uAscend is rated for fall arrest (on 12mm ropes) while the Lift is not. The reviewer states that using the Lift for top-rope soloing is outside of its tested purpose. However, they conclude that both devices grab the rope well.”

“User reviews on the retailer site CampSaver are positive. One reviewer bought it as a backup, praising its toothless design, light weight, and how it slides freely until loaded. Another user employs it as the primary device in a top-rope solo system, noting it catches quickly without being harsh and moves easily on the rope with a little weight at the bottom. A third user found it functional and easy to adjust on the rope after being weighted.”

“In a forum discussion, users share their positive experiences using the CAMP Lift for top-rope soloing, often in combination with a backup device like a Petzl Micro Traxion or Tibloc. One user mentions that the Lift is widely used but notes it may wear out faster than toothed devices like the Micro Traxion. Another experienced user, weighing 200 lbs, states they have fallen on their Lift over 1,000 times and consider it one of the best devices available. It is consistently mentioned that weighting the bottom of the rope allows the device to feed smoothly.”

“In a discussion comparing the CAMP Lift to pulley-style devices for top-rope soloing, a user notes the Lift has significantly more drag (~2.15 lb) compared to a Petzl Micro Traxion (~0.8 lb). However, the Lift is highlighted as being more budget-friendly, solid, and safe, presenting a trade-off between price and the convenience of less drag for auto-feeding the rope.”
