The Petzl Crevasse Rescue Kit comes pre-packaged with everything but snow anchors, so you know you have all the goods for a quick rescue of your fallen buddy. Thanks to unique, easy-to-use tools like the Mini Traxion and Tibloc, this kit works much faster than the traditional prussic methods. Don’t even think of heading out on a glacier without this kit.
- Includes: 2 locking carabiners, 1 Mini Traxion, 1 Tibloc, 1 oscillating pulley, and 1 St'Anneau sling
- Mini Traxion for self-rescue and hauling partner out of a crevasse
- Tibloc replaces a prussic in a hauling system or self-rescue
- The Oscillante oscillating pulley for reducing the effort needed for self-rescue or hauling
- St'Anneau 120cm sling for self-rescue ascending, connection to anchor, or part of a redirect in a hauling system
- Included weatherproof guide has carabiner attachment hole so you can attach to your harness and have easy access
- Snow and ice anchors not included
- Note: Practice with this system before heading out onto a glacier
Bottom Line: Absolutely necessary for glacier travel.

Great Basic Kit for Glacier Travel

This is a great basic tool kit and provides the minimum that each person will need to carry for glacier travel. Keep in mind it is the basic minimum and supplementing it with another pulley, an ascender or 2nd tibloc, and a couple Petzl OK oval biners would round it out more fully for most situations. Easy way to store and grab on the go to have the minimum when heading out into crevasse land. Just be sure to take a couple snow anchors and a couple ice anchors along and your set. A 2nd tibloc would put this at 5 stars, but you can add that pretty inexpensively. Most of all buy it and practice using it before heading onto glaciers.

This is a cool kit for folks new to glacier travel or mountaineering who dont have a lot of gear. It is also perfect for guides who may need to call on clients to assist in rescue. If you have any of the gear included in this package, keep working on your own kit, and know how to use it.
