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.
