« Item   Item » Petzl Stop Descender All control surfaces are stainless steel. Handle is squeezed to descend normally, controlling speed with the other hand; slack rope can easily be taken up. Locking mechanism can be disabled with a carabiner when a hand is needed to negotiate a drop. Originally designed for caving, the Stop Descender is a device that stops or considerably slows descent when the handle is released. Please Note: Petzl products can only be shipped to US addresses. Works best with clean, flexible rope, stiff rope may result in greatly impaired or reduced friction and the stop feature may be inoperative. More info + price
