CAMP Sphinx 13mm Pulley

CAMP Sphinx 13mm Pulley

The CAMP Sphinx 13mm Pulley is a super-compact and ultralight pulley designed for efficient rope handling in situations where minimal weight and simplicity are essential. With its fixed side plate construction, it offers straightforward operation and easy handling, making it convenient to carry on a harness during climbing, mountaineering, or rescue tasks. Its compact form supports practical use without sacrificing reliable performance.

Ultralight fixed side plate design

The Sphinx is built with fixed side plates, creating a clean and minimal profile that is easy to manage on the harness. Its attachment hole is sized to allow full rotation of a standard locking carabiner, supporting smooth alignment within systems. This simplicity makes the pulley quick to deploy and particularly suited to environments where efficiency and reduced bulk are priorities.

Smooth performance for light-duty applications

Self-lubricated brass bushings provide smooth rope travel and deliver an efficiency rating of 80 percent, making the Sphinx well suited to light applications at low speed. The pulley is compatible with ropes up to 13 mm, allowing integration into a variety of professional and technical setups where controlled hauling or redirection is required without the need for high-speed performance.

Prusik compatibility in a compact format

Unlike many pulleys with fixed side plates, the Sphinx allows a prusik knot to be installed on one side of the pulley, with aramid cord suggested. This prusik-minding capability supports additional control when rigging haul systems on route or managing crevasse rescue scenarios. The aluminium alloy body and sheave, combined with a stainless steel axle, deliver a balance of low weight and dependable durability for repeated use.
