Edelrid SPOC Pulley with Backstop

Edelrid SPOC Pulley with Backstop

The Edelrid SPOC Pulley with Backstop is an ultralight hauling pulley with an integrated cam, certified to both EN 12278 and EN 567. It takes ropes from 7.0 to 11.0 mm and holds a minimum breaking strength of 15 kN, which is enough headroom for hauling, crevasse rescue or an improvised ascent.

Features and Benefits

The integrated backstop cam catches the rope so the load stays where you put it between pulls. That turns a two person haul into something one person can manage, and it removes the fumbling that happens when you are trying to hold tension and reset a prusik at the same time.

Moreover, the cam can be locked in the open position. The SPOC then behaves as a plain pulley for redirects and lowering, so one piece of hardware covers two roles in the kit rather than two.

Additionally, ball bearings deliver 92 per cent efficiency, which is the difference you feel on the third pull rather than the first. Edelrid cuts teeth into the cam for grip on iced or muddy rope, and the body pairs aluminium with steel and polyamide.

Product-Specific Use Cases

Most UAE use is hauling rather than glacier work. It earns its place on multi pitch routes in Wadi Bih where a bag has to follow you up, on rigging jobs at the indoor walls, and in the rescue kit a club leaves in the vehicle. If you train here for ranges abroad, it is also the crevasse rescue piece you practise with before you travel.
