Petzl: Pirana Variable Friction Descender
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)
