Description

This amazing new descender is super compact and lightweight, making it incredibly easy to rig and handle even when you're wearing gloves. It offers a smooth action whether you're belaying or rappelling. Crafted from high - quality aluminum, it has an excellent strength - to - weight ratio. The hard - coated anodized black finish not only looks great but also provides high durability and extra resistance to wear and abrasion. There's also an anodized blue option for those who want to add a splash of color to their gear collection.

It works like a charm with both single and double ropes ranging from 8mm to 12.5mm. You can increase the friction by adding more wraps. The carabiner hole can serve as a belay plate, adding to its versatility.

When it comes to safety, always make sure to do a 3 - Sigma test as specified. Before each use, check for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any damage, don't use it. To keep it in good shape, store it in a dry place. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures. Clean it gently with a soft cloth if it gets dirty. With proper use and maintenance, this descender will serve you well in various activities like mountaineering, caving, and more.
