Petzl Freino braking carabiner
The Freino by Petzl is an aluminum carabiner with a braking system designed for use with descenders. It is compatible with the STOP, the GRIGRI, the HUIT, the HUIT ANTIBRULURE, and the SIMPLE, and is used with a single rope. It is easy to pass the rope through the braking lever even with one hand. Without opening the lever, the carabiner provides greater friction when used for double or for descent with a rope from above.
The company Petzl was founded by two speleologists, Fernand Petzl and Pierre Chevalier. Together, they brought numerous innovations to their discipline and to sport climbing. In 1968, they began producing the first descenders, and in 1975, the Petzl brand officially entered the market. The company, founded in France, has always focused on research, development, and innovation; it was Petzl that invented the GRIGRI in 1991, the first self-braking belay device. In 2014, new branches were opened in Spain and Germany.
