Petzl Stop Descender
Originally designed for caving, the Stop Descender is a device that stops or considerably slows descent when the handle is released.
- Locking mechanism can be disabled with a carabiner when a hand is needed to negotiate a drop
- Handle is squeezed to descend normally, controlling speed with the other hand; slack rope can easily be taken up
- All control surfaces are stainless steel
- Works best with clean, flexible rope, stiff rope may result in greatly impaired or reduced friction and the stop feature may be inoperative
Warning: Stop feature is a convenience feature for temporary stopping on descent and not a safety for uncontrolled rappels.
