Why We Like the RAD System

When it comes to navigating crevasses and rescuing situations, there's nothing quite like Petzl's RAD (Rescue and Descent) System. This ultralight and compact kit is the perfect solution for glacial traverses and mountainous adventures. It includes Petzl's specialized Rad Line for crevasses, along with the handy Micro Traxion, Tibloc, St'Anneau sling, and Sm'D carabiners. With this system, no summit is out of reach, whether you're mountaineering or climbing at your local crag.
