CAMP Otto Standard Figure of 8 Descender

CAMP Otto Standard Figure of 8 Descender

The CAMP Otto Standard Figure of 8 Descender is a compact aluminium alloy descender designed for controlled rope descents in professional climbing and access applications. Built around a classic figure of eight profile, it offers predictable friction control and smooth rope handling across a wide range of working scenarios. Its balanced design focuses on reliability, simplicity, and efficient performance where consistent descent control is required.

Controlled descent with classic figure of eight design

The traditional figure of eight shape supports smooth rope flow and dependable friction management during descent. Designed for use with ropes from 8 mm to 13 mm, the Otto Standard accommodates a broad selection of rope diameters commonly used in climbing and access work. This versatility allows the descender to be integrated into different systems while maintaining predictable handling characteristics under load.

Lightweight aluminium alloy construction

Constructed from aluminium alloy, the Otto Standard combines strength with a lightweight form factor. Weighing just 110 g, it supports efficient carrying and reduced bulk on the harness without compromising performance. The material choice supports durability and consistent operation, even during repeated use, while also aiding heat dissipation during longer or repeated descents.

Certified strength for professional use

The descender offers a breaking load of 25 kN, supporting confident use in professional environments where dependable strength margins are essential. It is certified to the EN 15151-2 standard, confirming suitability for recognised rope control applications and compliance with established safety requirements. This certification supports its use in structured work-at-height and climbing systems where standard conformity is required.
