The Micro Traxion from Petzl is a compact climbing device designed for alpine ascents, big wall routes and general mountaineering. It belongs to the carabiners and belay devices category and provides a lightweight option for handling ropes during technical climbs.
Made entirely from aluminum, this tool weighs just 85 grams, keeping your rack light without sacrificing durability. It accommodates ropes from 8 to 11 millimetres in diameter, covering the most common single-rope systems. Its compact profile means it takes up minimal space on your harness or in your pack, so it stays out of the way until you need it.
With a breaking strength of 15 kN, the Micro Traxion can withstand forces up to roughly 1,500 kilograms before reaching its limit. This rating gives you a clear measure of its load-bearing capacity and helps ensure reliable performance under tension.
