This device utilities a large surface area in contact with a climbing rope to provide sufficient friction along with proper technique to be used as a belaying device or for rappelling. A figure 8 is used in conjunction with a Climbing harness and locking carabiner to keep a climber safe and control their descent or ones own descent.
