Installing a fixed line<br />
2. Belay by self-lowering<br />
4. Attach the end of the rope that was on the harness to the<br />
station. Tighten the fixed line slightly, attach the second rope end<br />
with a figure eight knot. The end of the rope stays in the storage<br />
bag.<br />

3. Tie into the station. Tie off the rope on the PIRANA if both<br />
hands are needed for tying into the anchors.<br />
5. The second can reach the station by moving while<br />
connected to the fixed line. Once the entire party has passed,<br />
the rope can be pulled without leaving any equipment on the<br />
first anchors.<br />
PIRANA<br />
The PIRANA descender was designed specially for canyoning. It offers<br />
multiple braking options and can be installed on the rope without removing<br />
it from the harness. Used with an ATTACHE locking carabiner (comes<br />
separately), it makes a solid set-up that is practically impossible to<br />
lose once installed on the harness. Reduces the risk of leverage on the<br />
carabiner gate due to poor positioning. The PIRANA helps prevent the<br />
formation of a lark’s head hitch around the body and reduces rope twisting,<br />
without decreasing braking friction.<br />
