Technical features

Features

• Compatible with 8.5 to 11 mm dynamic single ropes and optimized for those 8.9 to 10.5 mm
• Descent control:
• Ergonomic handle allows you to easily unblock the rope and lower someone
• 3:1 mechanical advantage from the handle and camming mechanism helps reduce the amount of effort needed to smoothly control the rate of descent, regardless of rope diameter
