Belay, Ascend & Descend, Pulleys

Useful as a sub 10mm single rope auto block as well as its intended use as a ratchet prusik.

5mm cord is best for really thin ropes, particularly icy ones or those concerned with weight and bulk.

7mm is ideal for use with 11mm ropes and can also be used for bailing off.

Super light 73g NOTE: This device only works with ropes from 6.9mm to 9mm. Sweet spot 8.1mm - 8.5mm.

A still useful bit of kit, which can be locked off easier than an ATC when abseiling.

A nice, small, robust pulley.

Works well with the CMI single micro rescue pulley.
Small, compact and popular.

So light and small, really no reason not to carry one when multi-pitching. Particularly useful if climbing with inexperienced partners, or if there is three in the party. A recommended piece of kit.

Heavy duty, wears really well, popular old school device, that has stood the test of time.

Brand new from DMM. Looks good and is lighter than the Verso. I feel it is better suited to sub 10mm ropes.

Really useful as a redirect if using a waist belay at the top.

Not too big, ideal for crevasse, river or rock work. Well priced.

The classic Petzl figure 8.

Good, cheap emergency pulley, really low weight (42g) makes it easy to carry.

Great being able to adjust the friction. For rock climbing it works best with a small screwgate such as the Petzl SM'D.

Efficiency - 95% I think it's the best pulley I've ever used.

A very cheap emergency pulley - needs to be used with an oval screwgate.

Prusik minding pulley.

A small and very grabby device, small teeth should make it less likely to damage a rope.
