Ultimate Descent Control with Variable Friction
The HANNIBAL’s special geometry is its greatest strength. The integrated horns are not just for show; they create multiple braking levels. This design as a variable friction descender empowers operators to precisely adjust rappelling speed on the fly. Whether you’re navigating a complex route, managing a rescue, or guiding clients, you can add or reduce friction instantly for a smooth, safe, and controlled descent, perfectly matching the rope diameter and conditions.
Eliminate Dangerous Carabiner Cross-Loading
A common risk with standard descenders is carabiner cross-loading, which can lead to equipment failure. The HANNIBAL features an internal rubber ring that securely holds the carabiner in its correct orientation. This simple but critical feature makes it a superior anti-cross loading descender, ensuring your connection point remains secure and strong, allowing you to focus on the descent, not your gear.
