Ct Roll N Lock Vs Micro Traxion, CT Roll n lock is the best choice. They're all adequate for pulling someone out of a crevasse and a lot lighter than a protrax. It is also one of the sharpest rope grabs and likely to coreshot your rope. Nanotrax or the new minitrax (not sure if available yet), or the Edelrid Spoc or a CT roll n lock would all be more suitable than the pro-trax. MICRO TRAXION is a compact and lightweight progress-capture pulley (85 g) designed for crevasse rescue, hauling, and self-rescue, and for use as an emergency ascender. But I haven't TR soloed with it yet. Moved Permanently The document has moved here. I use the Roll N Lock and a Micro Traxion. Aug 10, 2019 · I've used the Micro Traxion and the Roll'n'Lock and the Micro Traxion seemed to catch a tiny bit quicker, though neither caught slowly enough to be concerning. I’d rather be safe then sorry. May 21, 2024 · We appreciate the small, thoughtful design features of the Micro Traxion, such as the small hole for a keeper cord and the fact that the profile is thin enough to work with any carabiner. Roll’nLock als Rücklaufsperre Der große Gegner in der Klasse dieser Geräte ist das Micro Traxion von Petzl, das etwas effizienter (Petzl 91% – CT 85%) ist, dafür aber um 5g schwerer als der RollNLock. Though the cam adds weight versus a toothed device, I feel is a good safety feature to consider. Can’t do that simuling either. Add to that the more compact package and the lower price, the Climbing Technology is a true competitor of the Micro Traxion and Mar 6, 2019 · I personally use a Climbing Technology Roll N'Lock coupled with a Camp USA Lift. On their ropes solo page they even say that the tibloc needs to be manually pressed into the rope to work properly. I also look into whether or not these devices actually cause s Microtraxion vs Roll’nLock: A Tale of Two Top Rope Solo Back-Up Devices This post is for informational purposes only and is the result of my personal experiences. IMO if you’re gonna buy a device mainly for simul climbing. I would use a kong duck or a ct roll n lock since those won’t damage a rope, but most speed climbers will use some type of progress capture while simul climbing. What are two different non-toothed devices (that do not require managing slack) that can be used to top rope solo. First, the CT Roll’N’Lock. I’ve heard that toothed devices such as a micro traxion can damage the sheath on a rope or even cut a rope. Both appear to have the same working strength of 4kN (I'm assuming this based on the 4kN stamped on the R n' L), with the Roll n' Lock having a slightly higher breaking strength. I've got both and use them in combo for TR soloing, use the roll n lock as the top device and the micro trax as a back up just because the roll n lock seems a bit more friendly on the rope, teeth are less sharp. I’m thinking about setting up a Petzl Rescucender as my main device with a backup. When using the Micro Traxion as a hand ascender, our testers tended to grab the carabiner clipped to the device. Oct 23, 2019 · George Frisby 24 Oct 2019 In reply to EdS: I've got both and use them in combo for TR soloing, use the roll n lock as the top device and the micro trax as a back up just because the roll n lock seems a bit more friendly on the rope, teeth are less sharp. An In-depth comparison between the Petzl MICRO TRAXION and the Climbing Technology ROLLNLOCK. The myth: "teeth are bad and will damage your rope when top rope soloing"!!! People talk about teeth, smooth and ridges ONLY dynamic drop tests, static pull tests and experience should prevail In conclusion: the Micro Traxion might be a proven design (it follows the Pro Traxion and Mini Traxion, which are the same but burlier), but the RollNLock has the same design features (the pulley and the springloaded cam) which results in a same spectrum of use. Jan 7, 2015 · The Roll n' Lock has a more gentler toothed cam, like the WC Ropeman 1. The new Edelrid Spoc looks possibly better than the Micro Traxion: I've fiddled with both and the spoc seems to have a stronger cam spring. What you liked, didn't like, flaws etc. Jul 31, 2023 · Microtrax much more suitable. Works great for TR solo for me, but I don't do any big wall climbs so don't really need the haul functionality of a progress capture device (which I've heard is much better with the Micro Traxion). This pulley has a cam action versus a toothed lock, allowing for smoother locking, lack of snagging and withstanding higher pull forces on ropes than a Micro Traxion. . Looking for user experiences of either please. Ein zusätzlicher Vorteil des RollNlock ist, dass es seilschonend ist. Any idea on how well this works for rope soloing? Works great for TR solo. x8lrs rdon m1irwwobt cy9 fk cnjk k6vzp7 pfl of7a fw
