Petzl Pirana Pulleys and Ascenders
The Pirana Descender by Petzl, a descender with three braking positions, designed for use with canyoning descent techniques.
* Specifications: Weight: 90 g
* Certification: n/a
Features:
* 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.
* For use on ropes from 8 to 13 mm
* Designed for single rope
