Which Pulley?
|
After almost breaking my back on our last two trips to Yosemite using small Petzl Fixe pulley and Mini-Traxion for hauling, I decided to upgrade my haul system. I'm gonna use the 2:1 hauling described on the climbing.com. So, what pulleys do you guys use? I'm leaning toward the CMI "Original" pulley but still unsure which one I should get. Bearing vs Bushing? |

Hi, sorry for the (possibly) stupid question, but what's the piece of plastic bottle there for? |
|
to protect the rope/knot from rubbing on the rock on the way up |
|
I use the CAMP version of the same CMI pulley and it works great. A bit big, but whatever. |
|
Nice setup, Greg. Any reason why you are using the ropeman style device for hauling instead of ascender? |

O, dang... that's some hi-tech gear over there. No more daisy static falls! Aren't that bulky? Especially in the shallow flaring cracks? |
|
I loved this setup on Mescalito. |
|
Sweet rig! I'll probably stick with daisy for now for my the Prow attempt. Definitely interested in trying that style of setup out. |

Randy, How much? I get pretty good deal on Petzl stuff from time to time so if you beat the price, I would be interested. |

NIce set up, Greg. I'll bet your Camp Lift is lighter than the Petzl Basic I use. I'll have to check one out.... |
