Standard – One of the lightest figure eights on the market, our Standard Figure Eight offers a smooth rappel with minimal impact on the rope. The secret to rappelling on a figure eight without twisting the rope is to always feed the rope from directly below—never hold the rope off to the side or at an angle.

Large – This slightly larger version of our Standard Figure Eight features a larger bottom hole that allows it to be used as a Sticht plate for belaying with single ropes. Due to the thick body, it also has very smooth action on rappels.
