Petzl Pirana Descender

Item #PTZ0146 | 31 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Great device

By Ranked #91 - Belay and Rappel Devices August 9, 2011

Very easy and fun to use. Needed something for thick static rope single strand rappelling and this works great. The cons are the same that you get with figure 8's.....kinks rope some, gets hot when rappelling fast, and leaves black residue on gloves and rope.
