New Petzl Mini Traxion and Pro Traxion for 2023
|
Looks pretty sweet to me. Curious what kind of wwl they'll be rated for, couldn't find any info on that though the Mini has 93% efficiency according to the video.

Ooh swivel |

Looks like the cam lockout isn’t improved/changed with the mini, but the protrax has a different mechanism. “Midweight” loads for the mini, so presumably similar rating to micro/nano |

Trying to figure out why the new Mini would be better than my Edelrid SPOC. |

I guess the advantage of the new Mini Trax is that you can open it and put the rope in without taking it off the locker, so dropping it is not an issue. I also see some potential for the Pro Trax in a 2:1 as the upper main pulley because of the swivel. |

So not really equatable. |
