1. Make a mule knot<br />
on one of the ropes,<br />
on the braking side<br />
of the REVERSO 4.<br />
This knot allows the<br />
rope to be released,<br />
freeing the hands for<br />
the maneuver.<br />

2. Install the MICRO TRAXION<br />
progress capture pulley on the<br />
other rope, on the load side.<br />
Check that the direction of the<br />
installation is appropriate for<br />
hauling (the MICRO TRAXION<br />
glides downward, blocks<br />
upward). Connect the<br />
MICRO TRAXION to a sling<br />
connected to the master point of<br />
the anchor.<br />
3. Use the carabiner as<br />
a handle in the carabiner<br />
hole of the REVERSO 4<br />
to release the rope. The<br />
load is now transferred to<br />
the MICRO TRAXION.<br />
4. The MICRO TRAXION may be used<br />
as a progress capture pulley in simple<br />
or complex haul systems. The choice<br />
of hauling system depends on the<br />
situation: the weight of the second,<br />
rope drag over rock, etc. During<br />
hauling, continually take up the slack<br />
in the second rope end to maintain the<br />
back-up belay.<br />
MICRO TRAXION<br />
Ultra-light and compact, the very efficient MICRO TRAXION progress<br />
capture pulley easily has its place on any multi-pitch climber's harness. It<br />
is ideal for rescuing a second climber in difficulty or for ascending a fixed<br />
line in a self-rescue situation. The MICRO TRAXION may also be used to<br />
haul a pack on difficult routes. Easy to install and compatible with 8 to<br />
11 mm diameter ropes. The cam works on dirty or icy ropes and can be<br />
locked in open position for use as a pulley.<br />
