I'm curious if anyone is using the Petzl Rollclip as part of their crevasse rescue set up.
It seems like it might be a nice bit of gear to carry along for setting up emergency hauling systems. Having one could eliminate carrying an extra pulley.
Petzl says the pulley is rated at 85% efficient (which I take with a grain of salt, but anything close to that would be pretty good.)
On a similar note, do people have the jag traxion and a twin pulley to create a 4:1 (5:1?) instead of the micro trax & partner? Additionally seems like it’d be nice to replace the tribloc with a petzl basic or ascender, despite the weight.
I tend to carry a pulley or even 2 when in a small party and potentially needing to employ a lot of advantage in a rescue situation. I’m with SinRopa here. I would carry that thing like I carry a pulley, meaning reserved for when I need a pulley. So it wouldn’t really save me carrying another locker. My set ups typically don’t call for a locker on the pulley either so the locking feature may be redundant.
Are you really going to throw that thing anywhere you’re not using it as a pulley? If not it isn’t very multi-purpose.
