Description

A complete ultra-lightweight and compact kit with specific cord, designed for skiers doing crevasse rescue, rappelling, or roping up on a glacier to get out of a crevasse zone

Complete, ultra-lightweight and compact, the RAD SYSTEM (Rescue And Descent) kit allows skiers on mountain terrain to always have the gear necessary for crevasse rescue, rappelling, or roping up on skis to get out of a crevasse zone. The kit contains a storage bag, 30 meters of RAD LINE 6 mm cord, carabiners, ascenders and a sling.

  • Complete, ultra-lightweight and very compact kit:
    - 30 m of RAD LINE 6 mm cord, developed specifically for crevasse rescue, rappelling, and roping up on a glacier when getting out of a crevasse zone
    - 3 Sm’D SCREW-LOCK carabiners
    - 1 TIBLOC ascender
    - 1 NANO TRAXION progress-capture pulley
    - 1 ST’ANNEAU 120 cm sling
    - Equipment is contained in a storage bag
  • Kit designed for action:
    - Ideal bottom-of-the-pack solution for backcountry skiers
    - Cord is folded for immediate use, limiting risk of knots or twists
    - Two loops on the exterior of the pouch allow you to attach it to a harness or inside the backpack
    - Sewn webbing loops on the top of the bag allow you to attach all kit components
  • Ultra-lightweight cord:
    - Only 660 g for 30 m
    - Flexible cord with rough sheath for excellent grip, descent control when rappelling, and to aid in braking when arresting a crevasse fall
    - The hyperstatic cord has less than 2 % elongation to facilitate rescue operations and eliminate the yo-yo effect during rappels or fall arrest in a crevasse
