Technical Details

I acquired my Edelrid Axiom from CanyonZone.com - Gertjan van Pelt in 2021.

My Edelrid Axiom is 59 mm. long, 113 mm. wide, 19 mm. high, and weighs 66 g. It contains a pulley sheave mounted in a specially-shaped non-locking key gate carabiner. The sheave is 14 mm. wide and 17.8 mm. in diameter. The 12 mm. wide rope groove reduces the running diameter to 11.9 mm.

The front is printed with a book-with-an-"i" icon and "CE 2777," and has "EDELRID in forged raised letters. The rear has "kN ↔22 ↕8 ↺7" (where "↺" represents an open carabiner icon) in forged raised letters. The spine is printed with "MAX. 4kN," "88271 0440," a factory icon, "2021 01 03," and "Rope 6≤Ø≤12mm."

Comments

I don't normally carry pulleys caving, but when I do, I prefer pulleys with larger-diameter sheaves because they don't force such a sharp bend in the rope. This is less important for flexible climbing ropes than it is for stiff caving ropes like PMI Pit Rope.

The Axiom is smaller and lighter than the Petzl Rollclips. Although I don't have much need for pulley carabiners, I prefer a locking screwgate one to a nonlocker.

Technical Details

I acquired my Edelrid Axiom Slider from CanyonZone.com - Gertjan van Pelt in 2022.

My Edelrid Axiom Slider is 59 mm. long, 113 mm. wide, 19 mm. high, and weighs 68 g. It contains a pulley sheave mounted in a specially-shaped locking key gate carabiner. The sheave is 14 mm. wide and 17.8 mm. in diameter. The 12 mm. wide rope groove reduces the running diameter to 11.9 mm. The gate locking mechinism is a spring-loaded sliding thumb tab.

The front is printed with a book-with-an-"i" icon and "CE 2777," and has "EDELRID in forged raised letters. The rear has "kN ↔22 ↕8 ↺7" (where "↺" represents an open carabiner icon) in forged raised letters. The spine is printed with "MAX. 4kN," "88272 0218," a factory icon, "2021 01 03," "EN362:2004/B," and "Rope 6≤Ø≤12mm."

Comments

The Axiom Slider has an unusual thumb-tab locking mechanism that easily can be bumped open. I would much rather see a standard screwgate locking mechanism.
