Easy to rig and handle when wearing gloves, this descender has smooth action on belay or rappel. Works well with either single or double ropes from 8mm to 12.5mm. Additional friction is gained by increasing the number of wraps. Carabiner hole can be used as a belay plate. Constructed from high quality aircraft grade 6061 aluminum for optimal strength to weight ratio.
