Description

By using extensive computer analysis and field testing to optimize geometry we’ve designed this descender so that it works extremely well on single and double ropes up to 7.5 mm, and yet can be used on single ropes up to 12.5 mm. Single or double wrap allows the right amount of friction needed for a fast, yet controlled descent. The ears help to prevent accidental girth hitch. CNC machined from 3/8” thick aircraft quality aluminum. Color choices are gold or black for tactical applications.
