The best feature of the Pirana is it makes several different friction options available at your fingertips. We call these
different modes the Zero, One and Two settings. To rig the Pirana for rappelling:
1.
Step over the rope, so the rope is on your right-hand side as you face the anchor.
2.
Lay the Pirana OVER the rope, and pull the rope up through the large hole. Drop the rope into the carabiner and
lock it.
3.
This is the ZERO setting. Decide which friction setting you wish to use. Increased friction is found by flipping the
rope around one or both of the fins at the tail (bottom) of the Pirana.
