Replacement for Pantin

[Mark Bolam]

My original Pantin is pretty battered now after years of great service.

What is the best option as a replacement?

 

Thanks.

WHAT HE SAID!!

 

Sorry, did I shout that😳

 

Apparently the CT one is very good. I have the old and new Petzl Pantin and the new one is not as good.

With the new Pantin you want your rope to be 5mm thick to make clipping in easy, then it needs to swell to 16mm to stop it slipping out every 4 seconds.

 

PS: I should add that I've always really rated Petzl gear and realise that my technique may be at fault.

I have a left old Pantin and a right new Pantin.

Nope your right mate ... the new pantin is crap

The CT is good. I have a new pantin for my right boot and a CT for my left. I stopped using the pantin. The only issue I have is the strap is starting to wear were it rubs on the metal on my boot. It take a fraction of a second longer to put on and you have to unclip it to get it off but it doesn`t pop out. And it`s cheaper.

New pantin may slip on the first meter from the ground , technique or misfitting it is to blame after that , it isn't as well made as the old one no doubt ..
