Simple, lightweight descender for caving
SIMPLE, as its name implies, is an easy-to-use caving descender. It can be used with 8.5 to 11 mm diameter low stretch kernmantle ropes. Reduced bulk and low weight simplify progression in narrow passages. The pulleys can be rotated or replaced to prolong the duration of use over time.
