Bobbin (caving equipment)

A bobbin is a class of descender that uses a set of "bobbins" to create friction.[1] They are most commonly marketed to cavers and rope access technicians, and are very light when compared to other descender options.[1] The most common bobbins are the Petzl Stop and Petzl Simple, but other companies such as Kong and Climbing Technologies also have designs.[2][3]
