Canyoneering Use
I agree this is a great, lightweight prusik minding pulley. Besides crevasse rescue use, I've used this pulley as part a system to convert a blocked single strand rappel to a releasable system so that a stuck rappeler could be raised.

Nice safety addition
There are so many uses and this pulley is so light and easy to use. Really like the prussik minding feature.

Flawless!The Mini Prusik Minding Pulley really did prevent the prusik cord from getting jammed in the pulley, whereas we had continual jamming problems with the other pulleys. The ball bearings yield a very smooth and frictionless rotation of the pulley. It's easy to use and well constructed / durable. I am very happy with this device.
I also used it to pull my sled. The pulley equalizes the load while traversing slopes so the sled doesn't pull you off balance so much. (Here's a helpful article by AAI on how to rig the pull cords.)
