From EMS:
The Petzl® Pirana Descender has three braking positions designed for use with canyoning descent techniques. - Choose from three braking positions depending on the user weight, the rope diameter, and terrain
- Two supplementary braking spurs allow friction to be increased during descent
- Carabiner with cross section of 12 mm (like an ATTACHE) provides a tight fit in the small hole, creating a rigid carabiner/descender unit
- Stays securely attached to the harness during rope insertion to help prevent loss
- Greatly reduces the risk of leverage on the carabiner gate (poor positioning)
- Designed to be used with the "rapid" technique
- Designed for use on single ropes 8 to 13 mm
- Can be used on some double ropes (braking positions depend on diameter)
- Use with a locking carabiner with a 12 mm cross section (ATTACHE or WILLIAM)
