FROM THE MANUFACTURER

 

A complete ultra-lightweight and compact kit with specific cord, designed for skiers doing crevasse rescue, rappelling, or roping up on a glacier to get out of a crevasse zone

Complete, ultra-lightweight and compact, the RAD SYSTEM (Rescue And Descent) kit allows skiers on mountain terrain to always have the gear necessary for crevasse rescue, rappelling, or roping up on skis to get out of a crevasse zone. The kit contains a storage bag, 30 meters of RAD LINE 6 mm cord, carabiners, ascenders and a sling.
