Edelrid Hannibal Figure 8 Descender

Edelrid Hannibal Figure 8 Descender

The Edelrid Hannibal Figure 8 Descender is a classic abseil device with a geometry that gives you more than one braking level, so you can set the descent speed you actually want instead of the one the device gives you.

Features and Benefits

The horned geometry is what delivers the control. Different rope wraps around the horns produce different braking levels. That lets a heavy pack or a thin rope be managed rather than endured.

Additionally, an internal rubber ring holds the carabiner in position. Cross loading a connector is one of the real risks with a figure 8, and keeping the carabiner oriented removes it before it happens.

Beyond safety, the body is a high-strength aluminium alloy. That keeps weight sensible for a device that spends most of its life hanging on a harness. It takes single ropes from 8.5 mm to 12 mm and is certified to EN 15151-2.

Product-Specific Use Cases

Use Edelrid Hannibal Figure 8 Descender for rappel descents in Wadi Bih and the Hajar wadis, and for canyon style descents where a wide rope range is an advantage. It is also a sensible device for instructors lowering groups on fixed lines at Showka and Hatta.
