Typically used in public forest adventure parks the PETZL Trac Double Pulley is a tough piece of equipment with a breaking point of 20 kN. This cable is used with cable that has a maximum diameter of 13mm and can handle large diameter cable with ease. The design is engineered to withstand a great amount of friction and maintains stability when in motion.
The PETZL Trac is meant to be used in combination with the VERTIGO carabiner and can be used with cable or tyroleans. easy one handed installation makes for lack of error and means you won’t be face down at the bottom of the forest floor;) With the most technologically advanced sealed ball bearing system the bearings are safe from temperature and humidity making this double pulley the right decision to buy.

The SUUNTO X9i is the smallest most light weight GPS wrist watch on the market. You can upload google maps to the watch and other GPS software. Imagine how cool you would be when all your friends are lost during a hiking expedition. Not that this happens often but hey “You never know…”. The SUUNTO X9i holds up to 50 routes and 500 way point destinations.
You can track everything from the time you left to the time. Track your speed of travel and far you have come. It’s not everyday that you get so much value out of a GPS unit that is so tiny. The SUUNTO comes with PC software for uploading info and a lithium battery and usb adapter cable. The device is water resistant up to 350 feet and has a digital barometer that can tell you the temperature and absolute pressure. This is definitely on my Christmas wish list this year.
