Three different braking positions to select frombefore beginning a descent
Two supplementary braking spurs allow friction tobe varied during descent
A carabiner with a cross section of 12mm (e.g. ATTACHE) provides a tight fit in the small hole, creating a “rigid” carabiner / descender unit
Stays securely attached to the harness during ropeinsertion, to help prevent loss
Reduces the risk of leverage on the carabiner gatedue to poor positioning
When used correctly, the PIRANA prevents the formation of a larkâs head hitch around the body and reduces kinks in the rope, without decreasing braking friction
For use with single ropes between 8 and 13mm in diameter
Can be used on double ropes, but certain braking positions may not be usable depending on the ropesâ diameter
For use with a locking carabiner having a 12mm cross section (ATTACHE or WILLIAM)
