Budget friendly:

Perfect Descent is the cost leader in automatic fuses, offering the lowest average cost of ownership over the life of the device.

The lightweight and compact design reduces shipping costs when returning equipment for factory authorized service and recertification.

A growing network of factory authorized service centers makes it quick and easy to keep your equipment up and running and on the wall.

Craftsmanship, safety and innovation:

Perfect Descent auto belays are hand built in Colorado, USA, feature high quality stainless steel and aluminum bodies (no plastic) and are never mass produced.

Internal components are made of high-quality materials that stand up to repeated use and require little to no maintenance.

All devices undergo rigorous quality assurance before shipment and meet global safety standards.

Versatile and durable device housing:

Perfect Descents are the lightest and most compact modular auto belays on the market, a key feature for easy towing and assembly.

The new multi-point mounting handle offers flexible mounting options and independent securing lugs.

All units are sealed for excellent indoor and outdoor performance.

Keychains to fall in love with:

Changing the lanyard takes only a few minutes and can be performed by the end user on site.

Choose the lanyard length that best suits your needs: 28ft, 40ft, or 53ft (8.5m, 12.2m, or 16.1m).

High-quality nylon webbing is easier to use than cable-based systems and won't damage walls.

The built-in wear indicator takes the guesswork out of knowing when it's time to replace your lanyard.

An anodized aluminum nozzle is integrated into the lanyard for durability and performance.

Choose from two three-stage, pivoting carabiner options: aluminum for corrosive environments or for weight reduction, and alloy steel for durability. Or choose the dual-connection option with a rotating nylon Y-dogbone tether and two aluminum two-stage captive pin carabiners.

NOTE : User can replace long lanyards with shorter lanyards to accommodate lower mounting heights. Never replace a shorter lanyard with a longer lanyard as the device will not function properly. Longer lanyards can only be installed by C3 Manufacturing or an authorized service center.

IMPORTANT : Perfect Descent Auto Belays are designed as controlled descent devices used in vertical climbing activities and are not intended for use in bouncing activities that generate impact forces. Repeated shock loading of the device can damage the internal components and in some cases lead to device failure. The lanyard should always be equal to or longer than the expected mounting height. Units with an excessively long lanyard length may experience improper lanyard spooling, resulting in a jerky or rapid descent. Always choose the lanyard that best suits the mounting height and avoid using long lanyards on short walls.
