The Rack Descender from Petzl updates the classic brake bar descender. The design and configuration of the bars makes it easy to set up and insert the rope. Compact and lightweight, the device allows the user to adjust the amount of friction during the descent to adapt to changing conditions (rope weight, terrain, etc.).
Features:
- Variable friction descender with braking bars
- The number of bars engaged on the rope may be adjusted at any time to obtain the desired amount of friction
- Does not twist the rope
- Good distribution of friction and heat helps protect the rope
- For use on a single ropes (9 to 13 mm) or double ropes (8 to 11 mm)
- Each Rack is individually tested to ensure quality.
- Allows the friction to be adjusted during the descent according to the weight of the rope: The lower bar is removable and easy to put in place
