The Petzl Stop is a versatile, self-braking descent device that stops upon the release of the handle. Descent speed is controlled by varying the grip on the free end of the rope. The Petzl Stop can be installed on the rope without disconnecting it from the harness. Climbing is also possible with the simple addition of a rope grab and a foot stirrup or etrier. Can also be used effectively in haul systems. Great for rope indoor our outodoor access work.
