RaisedByPikas Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Do you need something for general glacier travel such as extracting yourself and your partners from a crevasse? Quote
Coldfinger Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 I've got a Petzl mini traxion pulley that will work as either an ascender or a locking pulley (crevasse rescue) I'll sell you for $50 shipped to lower 48. I'm going on a trip so sit tight till tue. night. Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Wild Country Ropeman. Super lightweight, very compact, and you can put them on the rope when its under tension. Plus only $30- each new. Quote
denalidave Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 preferably a newer Jumar Or would consider a Petzl Ascension R handed. Anyone? post back if you are interested... Did you see This - Basic Ascender for sale linky I already purchased the gold/left one from BWB, buy he may still have the basic ascender. Quote
tster Posted August 1, 2010 Author Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) yes to the idea of getting out of crevasses, etc. Edited August 1, 2010 by tster Quote
tster Posted August 1, 2010 Author Posted August 1, 2010 No thanks to the mini pulley and ropeman, would prefer something more beefy like a Jumar or Petzl "ascension" ascender. Thanks tho. I'll keep looking and will likely just buy new. Quote
RaisedByPikas Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 yes to the idea of getting out of crevasses, etc. Then why not just use a prussic? Costs only a few dollars and is lighter. Quote
counterfeitfake Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 I can't think of a scenario where it's not silly to bring an ascender for normal glacier travel. Quote
RaisedByPikas Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 It not silly but definitely not neccessary Quote
