Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Petzl Rig Descender

Season:SS24

Brand:Petzl

Code:6000907

RIG is a compact self-braking descender designed for experienced users. It has an ergonomic handle that allows comfortable descent control. The AUTO-LOCK system allows users to easily position themselves at a workstation without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device. Once locked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle. The safety gate allows the rope to be installed with the device remaining connected to the harness.

  • Designed for experienced users
  • Easy to use:
    – safety gate on the moving side plate allows the rope to be installed easily while the device remains connected to the harness
    – easy rope installation, thanks to the rope guide and markings
    – ergonomic handle allows the rope to be released and enables comfortable control of the descent. Two possible descent modes: on the side plate or in the V-shaped friction channel
    – AUTO-LOCK system allows users to easily position themselves at the workstation without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device: as soon as the user releases the handle, the rope is automatically locked in the device. The automatic return system on the handle limits the risk of the device getting accidentally snagged
    – handle automatically switches to storage position when the rope is removed from the device, reducing the risk of accidental snagging when the descender is carried on the harness
  • Versatile:
    – once locked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle, allowing for easy short ascents, for example
    – cam can be manipulated to feed out slack easily or belay a lead using climbing techniques
  • The stainless steel wear plate improves durability by reinforcing the rope friction zone
  • Descending a heavy load up to 200 kg
  • Rope compatibility: 10 to 11.5 mm in diameter
  • Available in two colours: yellow and black
