Petzl Rad Line is an ultra-light, hyperstatic cord designed for ski tourers and freeriders who want serious glacier safety in a very compact package. Its low weight and tiny pack size mean it disappears in your backpack, while the supple yet grippy sheath makes handling much easier when you are securing a crevasse fall, setting up a haul system or controlling a short rappel through broken glacier terrain. Whenever you need to move safely across crevasses or detour around a dangerous zone, the Rad Line is built exactly for that kind of mission.
The specially reinforced HDPE sheath construction keeps the cord compatible with devices like Tibloc, Micro Traxion and Nano Traxion, making rescue setups efficient and reliable. Its hyperstatic behaviour with extremely low stretch eliminates the yo-yo effect when rappelling and transfers power directly into the system when hauling a fallen partner, giving you more control and less wasted effort. On ski mountaineering tours it provides a real safety resource without adding the bulk and weight of a full rope to your kit.
