Descender with three braking positions, designed for use with
canyoning descent techniques. For single or double ropes.
Three different braking positions to choose from before beginning
descent depending on the user's weight, the rope's diameter and the terrain.
Two supplementary braking spurs allow friction to be increased
during descent.
A carabiner with a cross section of 12 mm (like an 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
greatly reduces the risk of leverage on the carabiner
gate (poor positioning).
Designed to be used with the "Rapid" technique, which prevents
the formation of a lark's head knot around the body of the PIRANA and reduces
kinks in the rope, without decreasing braking friction.
Technical specifications
For use on ropes from 8 to 13 mm
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 with a 12 mm cross section
(ATTACHE or WILLIAM)
