Carabiner with friction spur for descenders

The FREINO is ideal for adding or adjusting friction during the descent.

Automatic locking carabiner with friction spur for STOP and SIMPLE descenders

FREINO Z is an automatic locking carabiner with friction spur, designed for STOP (D009AA00) and SIMPLE (D004AA00) caving descenders. It allows the user to increase or control the braking action of the descent. It facilitates creation of a tie-off. FREINO Z can be rotated in order to make the descender loss-proof when transferred from gear loop to semi-circular carabiner.

A snapgate carabiner in AISI 304 stainless steel, used in combination with caving descenders (pulley or figure of 8) on a single rope.

The most important feature of this patented carabiner is that it allows the user to vary the descent simply by moving the rope into the narrow section of the carabiner, eliminating almost all downwards force.

In addition the carabiner is equipped with a stainless steel twisted ring which can be clipped into the semi-circular maillon on the harness.

This ring makes this carabiner suitable for all descent speeds on any type of rope.

It is small and light and does not exert any damage on the rope.
