RACK Brake Bar Descender
An excellent choice for long descents in caving adventures. The RACK descender is super easy to handle. It can work with 9 to 13 mm diameter low - stretch kernmantel ropes on one rope strand. For long descents over 80 meters, you can use it with two strands of 8 to 11 mm low - stretch kernmantel ropes. This helps distribute friction and heat well, protecting the rope and preventing it from twisting.

Using the Petzl RACK Brake Bar Descender is quite straightforward. First, choose the right rope according to your descent situation. For single - strand use, pick a 9 to 13 mm low - stretch kernmantel rope. If you're going on a long descent over 80 meters, use two strands of 8 to 11 mm low - stretch kernmantel ropes. Once you've set up the rope, adjust the bars on the rope to get the right amount of friction for a smooth descent. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the device for any signs of wear. You can replace the brake bars (D11300, D11250, and D11200) to optimize its lifespan. Also, make sure to keep it clean and dry. And always remember to check the 3 - year guarantee details. Have a safe and exciting caving adventure!
