Loading... Please wait...PFH Rap raks are precision made stainless steel product, which lasts many times longer than aluminum. They also have the added ability of locking off on an abseil. they are great straight line descenders and come in a variety of lengths so you can choose one appropriate for your application. These are very popular with canyoners, rope access workers and cavers.

As a keen canyoner and caver the rack works great on SRT or DRT. It's also great with muddy ropes or thick ropes. Much lighter than an aluminium bar rack and dissipates heat well. Easy to lock off when I take tonnes of pics while on rope.

This descending device is great for all uses - I find it especially useful when canyoning, as you don't need to unclip it from your harness and risk dropping it, like you can do with other descenders like a figure 8.
The 6 bars allow you to set the amount of friction you want, so you can go at your own pace down the rock.
The only problem I have with it is that it's kind of heavy for those routes where you have a lot of gear.
