Description & Tech Specs

The Critr3 is a canyoneering rappel device built around one idea: change your friction while you’re on rappel, not just before you go. It was originally designed by Todd and Desi at Climbing Sutra and sold as a Canyon Werks product, and it’s now made and sold by Imlay Canyon Gear.

Why canyoneers use it

On a tall rappel, the weight of the rope hanging below you adds a lot of friction at the start. As you descend and that rope weight drops off, you speed up. With the Critr3 you can start with very little friction and add more as you go, without stopping to re-rig.

  • Adjustable friction mid-rappel: Multiple rigging options let you dial friction up or down on the way down.
  • Fewer rope twists: The design minimizes twisting on single-line rappels.
  • Easy lock-off: It locks off easily when you need your hands free.
  • Flip it for longer life: It’s symmetrical, and the device itself is stamped “Flip Each Use.” Alternating sides spreads out the wear, which matters in sandy canyons where grit chews through aluminum fast.
  • Good for bigger canyoneers: It’s especially popular with heavier canyoneers (170+ lbs) who want more friction on hand. The current version was tweaked to run smoother on larger-diameter ropes with lighter users too.
