Stay in control during the entire descent! The PIRANA is an adjustable friction descender for canyoning, intended for independent users and guides: It has three rope installation options and allows you to adapt the degree of friction before initiating a descent. A friction spur allows the user to increase braking power during descent. The plastic ring keeps the connector positioned properly to facilitate rope installation while the device is connected to the harness, limiting the risk of dropping the device.
Descender for canyoning
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 supplementary braking spurs allow friction to be varied during descent
- A carabiner with a cross section of 12 mm (e.g. ATTACHE) provides a tight fit in the small hole, creating a "rigid" carabiner / descender unit
- Stays securely 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
