Petzl Oscillante Pulley

What i was looking for, light & cheap

By Ranked #58 - Big Wall Climbing July 12, 2011

Picked this up for $14.95. Don't care that it has a nylon sheave. I will only use this for hauling systems in an emergency. Actually picked up two. I am curious to see how well it handles prusiks being that other pulleys are marketed as "prusik-minding." So we'll see. But as far as function, weight, and cost, I don't think there was a better option. I am partial to the Petzl and Black Diamond brands though. The picture I attached is of the newer pulley. At the time I write this review it looks like backcountry still has the old model pictured (maybe i'm wrong, sorry if i confuse!) It's pictured open & closed, with a Black Diamond Positron locking carbiner located between them for size purposes.
