Description

The Pirana descender from Petzl offers multiple braking options and can be installed on the rope without removing it from the harness. Designed for use with canyoning descent techniques.

Details

  • Three different braking positions to select from before beginning a descent
  • Two supplementary braking spurs allow friction to be varied during descent
  • A carabiner with a cross section of 12 mm (e.g. ATTACHE)provides a tight fit in the small hole, creating a rigid carabiner / descender unit
  • Stays securely attached to the harness during rope insertion, to help prevent loss
  • Reduces the risk of leverage on the carabiner gate due to poor positioning
  • When used correctly, the PIRANA prevents the formation of a lark's head knot around the body and reduces kinks in the rope, without decreasing braking friction
  • Designed for single rope
  • Can be used on double ropes, but certain braking positions may not be usable depending on the ropes diameter
  • For use with a locking carabiner having a 12 mm cross section (ATTACHE or WILLIAM)

Comments about Pirana Descender:

Several ways to lock this thing and give yourself a break during a long rappel, or if you need to stop and adjust something, or just to look around, etc. It's a bit smaller than a figure 8 and more versatile. A winner!
