4. Carry out a small pull<br />

on the system to briefly<br />

release the cam of the<br />

MICRO TRAXION. Allow<br />

the load to descend under<br />

tension onto the sling and<br />

TIBLOC.<br />

5. With the load on the<br />

TIBLOC, only the sling and<br />

the lower rope are taut. Untie<br />

the knot.<br />

MICRO TRAXION<br />

Moving over crevassed terrain, whether on foot or<br />

skis, requires preparation. It is essential to have<br />

proper equipment and to know how to use it. The<br />

MICRO TRAXION progress capture pulley (only 85 g)<br />

is an asset. Jamming is effective even on frozen<br />

ropes. The cam can be disengaged so the device<br />

can be used as a simple pulley. Excellent efficiency,<br />

thanks to sealed ball bearings. The MICRO TRAXION,<br />

with FIN’ANNEAU slings, a few carabiners and a<br />

TIBLOC make a lightweight kit that is perfect when<br />

heading for the mountains.<br />

6. After untying the<br />

knot, check that the<br />

MICRO TRAXION's cam is<br />

engaged and continue normal<br />

hauling on the system.<br />

After the first movement,<br />

disconnect the sling from the<br />

TIBLOC, until the next knot.<br />

The toothed cam<br />

provides excellent<br />

jamming. Works even on<br />

frozen or muddy ropes.<br />
