RSI Large Figure 8’s

Available in forged steel and alloy aluminum. Both types are plated for longer wear and corrosion resistance. Steel figure eights are ideal for training rappel situations when high cycle use is anticipated because of their resistance to grooving and excessive wear. Three dimensional design is asymmetrical and allows user to vary the friction depending on which way
the descender is used. Steel figure eights do not provide as much friction as alloy aluminum figure eights and care must be taken with heavy loads and belays.
• Strength (steel) 45,000 lbf/200kN
• Strength (aluminum) 10,000 lbf/45kN
