The Petzl Freino is a twist-lock karabiner that incorporates an integral braking system for improving friction on descenders and belay devices. Works extremely well with the Grigri when using slimmer ropes such as the Beal Booster, which can normally be a struggle. The Freino is ideal for adding or adjusting friction during descents.

The Petzl 5 Bar Rack is an update of the classic brake bar descender. The design and configuration of the bars makes setting up and inserting the rope easy. The device allows the user to adjust the number of bars engaged on the rope to obtain the necessary the amount of friction while descending to adapt to changing conditions such as rope weight, terrain, etc. The rack is designed to use on long descents on single or double ropes.

The lightweight Mini Prussik pulley can handle big loads but is small enough to take almost anywhere or be carried on the harness. The Mini features special side plates which are designed for use with a Prussik friction hitch in lightweight progress capture systems. The aluminium sheave is mounted on sealed ball bearings which provides excellent efficiency.

The Petzl Basic ascender is a lightweight, compact and multi-purpose ascender that works great for hauling systems, ascending fixed lines or as self-protection when climbing with a fixed rope. A self cleaning cam and angled teeth ensure a secure grip on the rope.

The Petzl Shunt works as a rappel back-up and is used below the rappel device. The Shunt replaces self-jamming knots like the Prussik and works on single and double ropes. The Shunt has smooth clamping surfaces which won't damage your rope. Designed for multi-pitch climbing and aid climbing the Shunt can also be used for mountaineering.

The Petzl Looping is a 4-step etrier designed for aid climbing and mountaineering but can also be used for multi-pitch climbing and caving. Wide, reinforced nylon webbing makes placing your feet easy while providing abrasion resistance.

The Petzl Ultralegere is one of lightest pulleys available at just 10g. The Ultralegere is s a simple nylon sheave that can be installed on a symmetrically shaped carabiner with ropes between 7 and 13mm.

The Petzl Vrillee Twist Hanger is a simple hanger for 8mm bolts with a twist so that it holds a karabiner parallel to the rock. This can be an advantage in places where the rope is likely to be re-ascended rather than pulled through, although it can cause the rope to rub on the rock in certain placements.
