Petzl Oscillante

I enjoy ski touring in the alps. I bought this item for cravace rescue. What I really liked on the petzl oscillante is that is super light and very easy to use because of the swinging side plates. I would definitely recommend this item. Another nice Feature is that you can use a wide range of rope diameters. Also the price is very attractive. I do not see any negatives.

Really light and easy to use piece of kit. Thankfully I haven't had to use it in a real crevasse rescue scenario but that is the reason I carry it with me at all times on glaciers. I have it on a carabiner with a prusik ready to go.

A good quality single rope pulley. Have been using as a rudimentary means of slack tending with various friction hitches when climbing trees, and also for traversing between trees. Very reasonable cost, and you can't really go wrong with Petzl.

Bought 2 of these small pulleys to set up a weight removal system for my home hangboard. They are perfect for the job. Added bonus is that I now also have a ready to go crevasse rescue system for ski touring - pulleys are so small and light that they will easily fit in any ski tour pack where glacier travel is involved.

Recently upgraded my old BD pulley for Petzl Oscillante. Lightweight and easy to use, the swing cheek makes placing the pulley on the rope very easy. It's also very smooth when engaged and weighted, moving over the rope. Should be on everyone's rack when planning glacier travel.
