Petzl Pirana Descender

Thread host line without removing 8 from carabiner or saddle. Aluminum alloy, for 8-13mm Lines The PIRANA descender offers multiple braking options and can be installed on the rope without removing it from the harness.• Three different braking positions to select from before beginning a descent• Two supplementary braking spurs allow friction to be varied during descent• A carabiner with a cross section of 12 mm 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• Reduces the risk of leverage on the carabiner gate due to poor positioning• The PIRANA helps prevent the formation of a lark’s head hitch around the body and reduces rope twisting, without decreasing braking friction
