Edelrid Axiom Slider Carabiner
The Edelrid Axiom Slider is a specialized carabiner for rigging and crevasse rescue work. It locks for security using Edelrid's slider system, which operates easily with your thumb or forefinger, even with gloves on. The main attraction of this carabiner is the built-in pulley, which reduces friction when building rescue systems, particularly helpful when extricating someone who has fallen into a crevasse. The benefit of this integrated design is that it eliminates the need for a separate pully and carabiner, simplifying your kit and resulting in faster deployment. The shape of the carabiner is designed to "funnel" the rope into the pulley, ensuring you are always taking advantage of its friction-reducing properties. Add an Axiom Slider carabiner to your crevasse rescue kit to make your rescue system easier and faster to deploy!
- Slider lock mechanism is easy to operate with gloves on and adds security.
- Pulley keeps friction to a minimum, making your rescue systems more efficient.
- Combination of a pulley and a locking carabiner means fewer moving parts and a simplified system for faster deployment.
