The Petzl HUIT is a compact, lightweight Figure 8 descender designed for descending on single or half ropes. A classic tool refined by Petzl, the HUIT features a unique square shape that helps reduce rope twisting and minimizes the formation of girth hitches—a common problem with traditional round figure 8s. It is versatile enough to be used as a descender or a belay plate. Versatile & Durable: Forged from high-strength aluminum, the HUIT is built to last. The small hole can be used with thinner ropes or for belaying, while the large opening accommodates a wide range of rope diameters.
