Bobbin (caving equipment)

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