It takes single ropes from 7.8 to 12.0 mm, which covers nearly everything on a UAE rack, from a skinny sport line to a fat workhorse top rope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA figure 8 earns its place by being \u003cstrong\u003esimple enough to trust when you are tired\u003c\/strong\u003e. There is nothing to jam, nothing to flip the wrong way and no moving part to seize after a dusty weekend. You can rig it, check it at a glance and get on with the descent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the aluminium body sheds heat from the rope faster than a small tube device on a long abseil. The wide 76 mm profile spreads the wrap, which keeps friction predictable as the rope runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, EN 15151-2 covers braking devices without assisted braking, so the belayer supplies all of the braking force and the device demands a hand on the rope at all times. A figure 8 also twists the rope more than a tube device, which is the trade for how freely it runs. Edelrid lists it as personal protective equipment, and the instructions for use ship with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct-Specific Use Cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eEdelrid Bud Figure 8 Aluminum Descender \u003c\/strong\u003esuits abseil practice at the Hatta crags, multi pitch descents in Wadi Bih and club sessions at the indoor walls around Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where a rugged device gets handed between climbers all evening. The broad rope range also makes it a sensible spare for a group kit bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminium construction across a wide single rope range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN 15151-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproved Rope Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.8 to 12.0 mm (0.31 to 0.47 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76 mm (3 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Personal protective equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy at Trekaline\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant a descender that just works?
