Product Description
Self-braking large descender from Petzl with anti-panic function for working on fixed ropes between 11.5MM (.45") and 13mm (.51") in diameter. This versatile descender has a multi-functional handle which allows the user to unblock the rope and control the descent with a hand on the braking side of the rope. You can move more easily on horizontal or low-angle terrain thanks to the button on the handle. If things gets dicey the anti-panic function will engage if the user pulls too hard on the handle and the pivoting cam is released and automatically brakes to stop the descent.
