DMM Anka Grey

The DMM Anka is a heavy duty, figure 8 descender for long, fast abseils and rappels. It is substantially chunkier than most figure 8 abseil devices and this increased mass helps heat dissipation keeping it cooler under intensive use.

 

The design incorporates a stem that is twisted 90 degrees to the main body so that on harnesses with a vertical belay loop (i.e. most harnesses) the Anka is orientated to minimise twisting of the ropes. The DMM Anka also features two horns that stop the rope from jumping or being forced over the front of the body and locking up the rope in a larks foot knot that can be very hard to undo under load.

 

The Anka has been a long-time favourite of military units around the world because of the advantages it is built for intensive use, has a large body that effectively dissipates heat and has high resistance to wear. 

 

The DMM Anka is anodised to BS EN 7599:2010 AA10.

 

It meets the requirements of EN15151-2:2013 and is recommended for ropes with the following diameters
