Figure 8
Description
The lightest of our line of rescue descenders, this is a traditional figure 8 design without "ears". Machined from solid aluminum bar, this descender is hard-coat anodized to provide optimal resistance to abrasion and is therefore ideally suited for heavier duty or repetitive rappelling situations. The Figure 8 will accept a variety of rope sizes from 8 mm to 12.5 mm, either single or double.
