Product Description

You can use the Petzl Mini Traxion Pulley for hauling on a multi-pitch climb, as a standard pulley, or for ascending a fixed rope thanks to it's unique locking design. The cam on the Mini Traxion Pulley allows you to pull rope through smoothly but prevents the rope from sliding in the opposite direction. It can also be locked open when you need a free pulley. Bring this 5.8-ounce self-locking pulley on a long trad route to haul your pack, or use it for crevasse rescue on your next mountaineering trip.

Dow Williamsthe pig...

Voted 5/5

what we been using to haul a small bag up on these OW and Chimney routes at Red Rocks, i.e. Epinephrine and Lady Wilson's Cleavage....with a BD Guide and double ropes, I rig both the 2nd and the bag at the same time. The 2nd is still within reach obviously if he/she needs to help the pig through a tight squeeze....does not take much elbow grease to haul a desert sized bag up...in fact, can bring both up at the same time, just like two climbers...this pulley catches and holds...thus why you need it if you are going with my method...real light weight and works like a charm.
