It offers three different braking positions to choose from, according to the weight of the user, the rope diameter in use, and the terrain. It also offers 2 points where the rope can be angled to adjust the descent speed. A plastic attachment also ensures perfect support for any type of HMS locking carabiner. The Pirana can also be used to belay the leader.

Great for long raps 5 out of 5 stars

When the rappel is too long to double up and you have to do a single line rappel, the pirana is amazing for adding as much friction as you want to better control your descent.

I took one with me to Zion National Park and it worked great for canyonneering. I realy liked the variable braking. It was also really easy to get out of when you rappel into a pool. The only downside was some rope twist.
