Product Features
- Complete PETZL RAD SYSTEM kit designed for crevasse rescue, rappelling, and glacier travel
- 30 m of 6 mm hyperstatic RAD LINE rope, lightweight (approximately 660 g for 30 m) with a rough sheath for excellent grip
- Ultra-light and compact set with a ready-to-use storage bag and rope protected against knots and twists
- Includes Sm'D screw-lock carabiners, TIBLOC, NANO TRAXION pulley, and ST'ANNEAU 120 cm sling
- Less than 2% elongation to improve efficiency during maneuvers and reduce the yo-yo effect
Kit Composition
The RAD SYSTEM kit gathers all necessary elements for crevasse rescue and glacier terrain progression: storage bag, 30 m of 6 mm RAD LINE rope, 3 Sm'D screw-lock carabiners, 1 TIBLOC, 1 NANO TRAXION pulley with anti-twist feature, and 1 ST'ANNEAU 120 cm sling. Each component is designed for quick storage and accessibility.
RAD LINE 6 mm Rope
The RAD LINE is a 6 mm hyperstatic rope specially developed for rescue and descent: rough sheath for better grip, reduced weight (approximately 22 g/m, approximately 660 g for 30 m), and less than 2% elongation to optimize the performance of pulley systems and eliminate the yo-yo effect during rappels.
Bag Design and Ergonomics
The transport bag is ultra-compact and protected against knots and twists; it features two external loops for attachment to a harness or backpack, two strap loops at the top of the bag for hanging elements, and a support for ice screws. The cord is folded for immediate use without risk of twisting.
Compatibility and Usage Recommendations
The RAD LINE is compatible with TIBLOC and MICRO/NANO TRAXION pulleys due to its reinforced PEHD sheath. Due to its hyperstatic characteristics, the rope should not be used alone to stop a fall unless an energy-absorbing element is included (braking carabiners, friction, absorbers). PETZL recommends using two braking carabiners with a REVERSO descender and an appropriate backup system.
Materials and Technical Specifications
Components are made of aluminum, stainless steel, PEHD, polyester, and polyamide. Indicative weight: approximately 970 g for the complete kit and approximately 660 g for 30 m of RAD LINE. Technical content: 30 m RAD LINE 6 mm, 3 Sm'D screw-lock carabiners, TIBLOC, NANO TRAXION pulley, ST'ANNEAU 120 cm sling, storage bag.
