Petzl Mini Prusik Minding Pulley
Available Colors / Styles
Detail Views
With a super-light, compact design, the Petzl Mini Prusik Minded Pulley handles big loads but is still small enough to carry on your harness. The swinging aluminum sideplates and efficient sheave make it durable enough for big-wall use and light enough for just-in-case situations.
- Max rope diameter for this pulley is 11mm
Bottom Line: Light and functional—the way all gear should be.

How do some pulleys handle prusiks better than others? I've just started reading the books and watching the videos on zsystems etc but haven't put any of it to practice... so I may be missing something obvious.

Basically, the flat bottom edge of pmp's work better at "tending" the prusik (keeping it from getting sucked into the pulley itself and jamming) than a regular, more rounded bottom pulley. Otherwise, pmp's work exactly the same as other pulleys, with the same ease of use, efficiency, etc. An ATC can also be used in conjunction with a regular pulley for a self-minding prusik/pulley setup. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I should've been more specific- When this says "Prusik Minding" I assume this particular pulley somehow works better with Prusiks than other pulleys. Is that the case? I can't figure out why one pulley would work better than other, at least with regards to prusiks. Does that help clarify my question? (thanks for the response!)

Pulley doen'ts make the Prusik. It is just part of the Z system. How easy the pulley is to get into the z system is important.

im really am blown away by this pulley (well as a human can get about a pulley). down to business anyway, I've been a little rough on this pulley just to be honest, its been to utah scratched up and down sandstone and had sand blown around on it and all of my other gear and while i could hardly get the screwgate on a carabiner closed from the sand clogging it up the mini was still running smooth as a dream. and throwing a progress capture on it is a dream thanks to the straight bottoms of the side plates, just a prusik out of a little dynex runner keeps you from ever dropping a load again, i think theres illustrations on petzl's website of how to set up a progress capture and if not there is in the book that comes with the pulley in the box, very very very pleased (and plan to get the gemini, its like the mini but with two pulley wheels in it) to make more complex systems with both the pulleys
Change me.
