"Great Descender" 12/03/10

I ordered this because I saw a fireman exibition and this is what they used to rescue a guy from a building so I figured it must be pretty good.

It's hard to describe but it just feels very predictable.

It's like carrying a micro rack but it functions like a full sized one. It's fast- the slick surface of the bars allows the rope to move quickly with ease, so some practice and adjustments to one's form would be wise prior to using the rack with a bi
