G3 Rutschblock Cord

 Brand : G3
Item : GGG0016
The innovative G3 Rutschblock cord performs far better than the traditional knotted rope, revealing snow profiles with minimal effort. The lightweight cable is virtually indestructible and the low profile swage springs slice through snow and ice with minimal probe wear. Large loop handles can be used with gloves or mittens, and the bright red cable can be bull whipped for traveling in whiteout conditions.

G3 Rutschblock Cord



Fast Rutschblock method
Using this cord simplifies cutting out Rutschblocks. The only stipulation is that two people in your group have probes to put in the back corners of the Rutschblock. While everyone has shovels, transceivers, not everyone carries a probe, which makes using this cord tough. So consider who you'll be skiing with and whether they carry a probe. Also the cord produced slight wear on my probe when I used it...It was mostly comestic.


Rutschblock Cord
This is a great fun tool for backcountry. I climb and really need to know the snowpack of the area I am going into. This is a great tool for me to see how much it will take to avalanche an area. That way I can decide if this slope is good or not to traverse. It gives me options to be safe in the backcountry. I purchased my cord a couple of years ago and my mountaineering guide liked it so much, I purchased this one for him as a present.


Useful Snow Study Accessory
Not exactly an essential item, but if you have an extra $19 and want to encourage yourself to do more stability tests, then it's a good purchase.


Save your money
This cord failed at one of the loop ends the first time I used it. Also it trashed both probes - one probe was carbon fiber & it got shredded and snapped due to the damage. Save your money and buy a 4mm cord & put knots every half meter! This is what the guides use & b/c this option is more versatile, cheaper & it won't damage your probes.


Rutschblock Cord
This is a fun tool to use in avalanche awareness. I brought mine to use for a class and my teacher liked it so much, I purchased one for him too. Fun snow toys that will help save you from avalanches!
