Product DescriptionGlacier travel and crevasse rescue call for the specially designed Petzl Mini Prusik Minding Pulley.

Voted 5/5 | I used this on Shasta and Denali for crevasse rescue and it worked flawlessly during training. We fortunately didn't have to perform a live rescue. However, we held an all day crevasse rescue training class during which we had the opportunity to compare the Mini Prusik Minding Pulley with other rescue pulleys. (We set up several Z-pulley rescue systems.)
The Mini Prusik Minding Pulley really did prevent the prusik cord from getting jammed in the pulley, whereas we had continual jamming problems with the other pulleys. The ball bearings yield a very smooth and frictionless rotation of the pulley. It's easy to use and well constructed / durable. I am very happy with this device.
I also used it to pull my sled. The pulley equalizes the load while traversing slopes so the sled doesn't pull you off balance so much. (Here's a helpful article by AAI on how to rig the pull cords.) | | Posted Sep 9, 2008 12:12 pm |
