The Petzl Stop Descender is the perfect tool to enhance your long, single-rope rappels. Its purpose is to provide you with reliable on-rope control and an easy and comfortable descent.
What sets the Stop Descender apart is its ingenious self-braking function. With a simple release of the handle, you can effortlessly stop and hold your position on the rope. The internal cam swiftly pinches the rope, ensuring a secure halt to your descent. This feature allows you the freedom to take a break, catch your breath, or take in the breathtaking scenery around you.
In addition, the Stop Descender can be used in combination with an ascender and foot loop to climb short distances up the rope, giving you even more versatility.
