Petzl
Petzl is a family business that, over the years, has become the largest European manufacturer of personal protective equipment for those who work and play in darkness or at height.
All of their products are invented and developed at their headquarters in the heart of the French Alps.
Petzl aims "to go farther and higher, to work more efficiently, to maximize safety and to make what was inaccessible today accessible tomorrow".
The Petzl Freino Z is an automatic locking karabiner with friction spur for use with the Stop and Simple caving descenders. It allows the user to increase or control the braking action of the descent, as well as facilitating the creation of a tie-off. The Freino Z can be rotated in order to make the descender loss-proof when transferred from gear loop to semi-circular karabiner.
The Petzl Freino Z is a karabiner that has an added friction spur for adding or adjusting friction during descents. It features the Petzl Triact-Lock automatic locking system and is easy to use. When rotated, it makes the descender loss-proof when transferred from the equipment loop to the ventral attachment point or anchor. The Freino Z is compatible with the I’D S, I’D L, I’D EVAC and RIG self-braking descenders.
The Gemini double pulley features special side plates which are designed for use with a Prussik friction hitch in lightweight progress capture systems. Designed with parallel mounted sheaves and an auxiliary attachment point for creating different types of hauling systems, even the most complex and technical of hauling systems.
The Gradistep is a 5-step etrier which folds into a storage pouch. Stiffened loops make it easier to place your feet. Designed for aid climbing and multi-pitch climbing the Gradistep is also good for mountaineering.
The Petzl Helmet Lamp Clips are for use with helmets that do not already have appropriate integral headlamp clips (e.g. other than current Petzl helmets) the four hooks are for use with thin-edged helmets, e.g. standard site type safety helmets, to keep the elasticated headband on the headtorch correctly positioned on the safety helmet.
The Petzl Huit is a classic figure 8 rapelling device for descending on single or double ropes. Its square shape reduces twisting of the ropes and the formation of a lark's head hitch. The small hole can be used either with thin ropes if necessary, or as a belay plate. For use on ropes from 8 to 13mm diameter.
The Petzl Irvis Hybrid is are hybrid crampons for ski touring and approaches involving glacier travel. Opt for a tool that’s lightweight and durable! The Petzl Ivris Hyrbrid crampons have a steel front piece and aluminum heel piece, offering an excellent balance between performance, technicality and weight, as well as traction on ice.
The Jag is a double rope pulley used to reduce friction in the system making hauling more efficient. It can be paired with other pulleys to provide mechanical advantage, or with the Jag Traxion to create a progress capture 4:1 system.
