The Petzl RAD LINE 6 mm Hyperstatic Cord is an ultra-light and compact cord designed for skiers engaged in crevasse rescue, rappelling, or roping up on glaciers to traverse crevasse zones. Its hyperstatic nature ensures minimal elongation, enhancing the efficiency of rescue operations and preventing the "yo-yo" effect during rappels or fall arrests in crevasses. The cord is available in two lengths: 30 meters and 60 meters.
- Ultra-light and Compact: Weighs only 22 grams per meter, making it easy to carry in a backpack.
- Specific Sheath Construction: The high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE)-reinforced sheath ensures compatibility with Petzl's TIBLOC ascender and MICRO TRAXION progress-capture pulley. The flexible cord with a rough-textured sheath provides excellent handling, improving descent control during rappels and aiding in braking during crevasse fall arrests.
- Hyperstatic: Features a static elongation of less than 2%, facilitating efficient rescue maneuvers and eliminating the "yo-yo" effect during rappels or fall arrests in crevasses.
