The Petzl EXO is a unique device designed specifically for firefighters. It provides a firefighter with an alternate (last resort) means of escape if there is no other way out from an upper floor during an emergency.

The Petzl EXO comes with an anchor hook, 50-feet of 7.5mm Technora cut and heat resistant rope, the EXO auto-locking descent control device, an attachment carabiner with captive eye and a carry bag. The system also requires a Class-2 harness for use (the preferred harness is the Gemtor Model #541NYCL).

Training IS required by Petzl before the system can be placed into service. This system is not a typical rope/belay system. There are characteristics of its function and operation that require a bit more care and attention.
