Features of the Petzl Pirana Canyoning Descender
- Three different braking positions to choose from before beginning descent depending on the user's weight, the rope's diameter and the terrain.
- Two supplementary braking spurs allow friction to be increased during descent.
- A carabiner with a cross section of 12 mm (like an 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,
- greatly reduces the risk of leverage on the carabiner gate (poor positioning).
- Designed to be used with the "Rapid" technique, which prevents the formation of a lark's head knot around the body of the PIRANA and reduces kinks in the rope, without decreasing braking friction.
- For use on ropes from 8 to 13 mm
- Designed for single rope
- Can be used on double ropes, but certain braking positions may not be usable depending on the ropes' diameter,
- For use with a locking carabiner with a 12 mm cross section (ATTACHE or WILLIAM)
- 90 g
