Now that Petzl have released their RAD system, I am wondering whether it would be possible to use Edelrids Rap line 2 for the same purpose? I already own all the parts of the RAD system par the rope. I would be using it for ski mountaineering mainly.
My main questions are:
Now they have incorporated this "shock absorbing"effect inside the rope, would falling into a crevasse cause it to rip and therefore making it hard to haul them out or perhaps once you start hauling them out it could rip?
Is the rope too stiff to sit in chest coils comfortably?
The RAD line is 6mm and the Rap line is 6.5mm so does that mean that the traxion and tibloc work on both?
Just some food for thought....
