PIRANA

The PIRANA descender offers multiple braking options and can be installed on the rope without removing it from the harness. Designed for use with canyoning descent techniques.

Three different braking positions to select from before beginning a descent

Two braking spurs allow friction to be increased during descent

A carabiner with a cross section of around 12 mm (e.g. ATTACHE or WILLIAM) provides a tight fit in the small hole, creating a "rigid" carabiner / descender unit

Stays 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

For single ropes between 8 and 13 mm in diameter

Used with a carabiner with a cross-section of 12 mm (e.g. WILLIAM), it creates a «rigid» carabiner / descender unit and maintains noise discipline. The descender is used with rapid technique and can not be dropped.

Can be used on doubled rope, but certain braking positions are not usable depending on the rope's diameter
