Figure 8

The DMM Figure 8 abseil device has a classic design with the emphasis on the device being light and compact. This figure 8 offers a very smooth descent and good lock-off. Extra friction can be generated on skinny ropes by feeding them into the smaller hole and clipping into the larger hole.

The Figure 8 has a simple design that is finished to the usual high DMM standard; a hot forged aluminium alloy body to maximise strength and minimise weight combined with heavy rumbling that results in fully rounded smooth surfaces that help minimise any jerkiness when abseiling.

The DMM Anka is anodised to BS EN 7599:2010 AA10.

It meets the requirements of EN15151-2:2013 and is recommended for ropes with the following diameters

Ropes classified as Single Ropes: 8.9 – 11.0mm
Ropes classified as Half Ropes 7.3 - 9.2
Ropes classified as Twin Ropes 7.3 - 9.2
