About this product
Petzl Rig Repairable Rig Descender
Compact and repairable descender for tactical operations
RIG is a descender with an ergonomic handle that allows comfortable descent control. The AUTO-LOCK system allows users to quickly position themselves without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device. Once blocked, the rope can be taken up without manipulating the handle. Easy to grasp, the descender is a simple, efficient alternative to traditional descenders. It is also repairable, and the cam and pin can be replaced in order to extend its lifespan.
Detailed description
- Easy to use:
- Markings and rope guide make it quick and easy to install the rope
- Ergonomic handle provides good grip and excellent descent control
- Moving side plate can be opened while the device remains connected to the harness, making it easier to pass intermediate anchors
- The AUTO-LOCK system allows users to easily position themselves at a workstation without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device
- Handle automatically switches to storage position when the rope is removed from the device, reducing the risk of accidental snagging when the descender is carried on the harness
- Versatile:
- Two possible descent modes: with the rope running over the side plate or in the V-shaped friction channel, which provides better descent control and helps keep the rope from kinking
- Can be used connected to the harness or to an anchor
- Once the rope is blocked, it is possible to ascend in short spurts without manipulating the handle by simply pulling the rope through the device
- Can be used to belay a lead with techniques used in climbing
- Durability and repairability:
- Reinforced protection on the rope friction zone helps prevent premature wear on the moving side plate
- Cam shape improves rope pinching and limits wear on the device
- Repairable, the cam and pin can be replaced using the repair kit (sold separately, D021CA00)
