Petzl Freino - Carabiner with Braking Spur

Carabiner with braking spur for descenders

For those times when you need a little extra friction while descending, the FREINO is the way to go. Allows the user to redirect the brake end of the rope for increased friction when descending on a fixed rope.

• Provides increased friction for single ropes when rappelling or lowering, without extra gear or the need to open the carabiner.
• Easy to use: rope can be quickly redirected over the friction spur and removed with one hand.
• Auto-locking.
• Keylock system.
• For use on single ropes with the STOP, GRIGRI, HUIT, HUIT ANTIBRULURE and SIMPLE.
