What is a "descender"?
A descender is a climbing device used to safely lower a climber down a rope. It works by creating friction on the rope, allowing the user to control their speed as they go down. The device typically attaches to the climber’s harness and is used with a metal clip to secure it to the rope. Descenders are important for controlled and safe descending, helping climbers go down steep or vertical surfaces. They are designed to prevent rapid or uncontrolled descents, providing stability and control.
