The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Comments about Petzl Mini Traxion Pulley:

Where do I start? I've been climbing since 1995. This little guy goes with me always. During snow school teaching crevase rescue, its a dream. Hauling "light" pigs on the big wall this system works. Go to youtube and search "El Capitan - Lurking Fear" to see a guy set up a haul system using this device. The "Pro-trax" is made for bigger loads, yet "Pass the Pitons Pete" has blown one up before. When I was learning to aid climb, no one would belay me for hours, so I set up a top fixed line, I used the Mini-trax to self belay up the line. Really the possibilities are limited to your knowledge. That said, READ, READ, READ. Just buying gear doesn't make you a climber. Almost everything I've learned, some climber wrote the book about it.
Good luck, be smart, and be safe.

Comments about Petzl Mini Traxion Pulley:

I've used my mini traxion in a variety of interesting ways over the years that I've owned it. Its great as a pulley in a haul line, or to back up any load bearing rope, such as in a rescue. I've had the opportunity to experiment with it for caving purposes, too, usually as part of a vertical ascent system. In all cases, and withstanding all abuse, the mini traxion has proven itself a useful ally and even an essential tool in times of need. You won't regret having this around if you need to get out of a tight spot fast.

Comments about Petzl Mini Traxion Pulley:

Good product for aid climbing. Can be used to haul light loads or in combination 3:1 pulley systems. Also great for a backup when jugging/cleaning vertical pitches. GriGri with solo modification works much better for solo aid and/or cleaning wandering/traversing pitches.

Can also be used on your zip line for pulling up extra gear/water/food on a long aid pitch.
