Specifications
Attention
Please ensure that the rope loops are kept under and within the bent ears of the ProClimb 50 kN Big 8 Stainless Steel Descender.
Fall Protection & Climbing Gear
The ProClimb 50 kN Big 8 Stainless Steel Descender with Bent-Ears offers superior safety and versatility. Its thick body and bent ears prevent rope sliding and locking up, creating more friction systems. The big slot allows for adjustable ascent speed, and the bottom slot can be used to connect climbing carabiners or other equipment. The thick body of the descender minimizes rope abrasion and wear.
The Best Suitable Option for:
Our ProClimb Big 8 Stainless Steel Descender is perfect for climbing, rappelling, rigging aerial silk, applying significant friction to rope, and controlling rope sliding speed.
ProClimb Big 8 Stainless Steel Descender Features
Easy Lock-Off
The bent ears prevent rope sliding and locking up, making the descender safer and more versatile. The body design allows for better control while descending or belaying heavy loads.
Adjustable Descent Rate
The Figure 8 Descender keeps the line from inadvertently girth-hitching the uppermost bar, which could strand the climber. The center hole doubles as a belay plate, and the end slot can be used to attach carabiners for added safety.
Large Main Slot
The main slot is spacious enough for the operator to double or triple the single rope, increasing frictions. This enables the operator to slow or stop descent with minimal force.
What Our Customers Say (REAL Amazon Reviews)
Brian H. Root
Highly recommended.
This descender is solid and worked perfectly for me. I chose the legitimate ProClimb version over the cheaper options from the Far East because I prioritize quality. It is heavy and sturdy, and the added hooks allow for secure locking, which is great for tree climbing.
E. Reeve Fritchman
Serious product suitable for professional use.
The bent ears are a requirement for SAR use, where securing yourself on the rope is necessary. This descender is big and sturdy, ensuring that generated heat disperses and the unit remains intact under pressure. It arrived earlier than expected!
