SELF BRAKING DESCENDER – IDL

PETZL

Designed for rescue

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
– Markings and rope guide makes it easy to install the rope
– Anti-error catch helps reduce the risk of an accident due to incorrect installation of the device on the rope
– 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
– Anti-panic function automatically stops the descent if the user pulls too hard on the handle
– Allows smooth movement along inclined or horizontal terrain
– AUTO-LOCK system allows users to position themselves 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, for making a reversible haul system or for easy short ascents
– Cam can be manipulated to feed out slack easily or belay a lead climber using climbing techniques
– The moving side plate locks with a screw, allowing the I?D L to be integrated into rescue kits
– An auxiliary brake, open or closed, may be added to improve descent control depending on the weight and rope diameter

The stainless steel wear plate improves durability by reinforcing the rope friction zone
