-
Use: Tactical, technical
-
Benefits:
Ease and speed of use:
- easy rope installation, thanks to guidance and indicative markings,
- ergonomic handle allows for the release of the rope and comfortable control of the descent,
- two possible descent modes: on the side plate or in the V-shaped braking groove,
- AUTO-LOCK system allows for quick positioning without having to handle the lever and make a stop key: as soon as the user releases the handle, the rope is automatically locked in the device. The automatic return of the handle limits the risk of unintentional snagging,
- once locked, the rope can be taken up without having to handle the lever, which allows for easy short ascents on a rope (by adding a FOOTAPE pedal and an ASCENSION hand clamp),
- cam can be manipulated to easily take up slack,
- has a locking ratchet on the moving side plate allowing for rope installation while keeping the device connected to the harness, which facilitates passage over fractionation,
- automatic repositioning of the handle in storage position when the rope is removed from the device, reducing the risk of unintentional snagging when the descender is worn on the harness.
Protection reinforcement, in stainless steel on the rope friction zone, increasing resistance to wear.
