Z-drag recovery system, information sought.
Hi climbing people.
I'm trying to build a z-drag recovery system with the main goal being smallest pack size possible, and second goal being light weight.
So far, this is what I have.
Rope- 65' Petzl RAD LINE 6mm
Pulley #1- Petzl Nano Traxion (has progress capture)
Pulley #2- Petzl Oscillante
Anchor straps x2
Carabiners x2
This z-drag system will be used for solo remote dirt bike trail riding in the unlikely scenario a bike crashes off the trail and goes down a steep embankment.
Dirt bike will weigh either ~250lbs or ~325lbs depending on which bike I'm riding that day.
I think rope selection will be my bulkiest item in the system and I haven't found much for progress capture pulleys that accept less than 7mm rope. And even the Nano Traxion is rated at 7-11 mm rope but Petzl says it will work with their 6mm RAD LINE. So I don't think I can go much smaller than that 6mm RAD LINE, unless someone has a better solution.
