From the deep: the Petzl adventure
A story about a company and its environment
Though rarely in the spotlight, climbing equipment represents more
than a simple accessory for mountaineers. The evolution of such
carefully designed gear bears witness to the intelligence climbers use
to overcome increasingly challenging terrain, and embodies their ethical
choices. The tools climbers use clearly reflect their approach to the
mountains.

For forty years, Petzl and its founders have played a major role in the
history of the mountains. With the golden age of caving as the starting © Pascal Tournaire
point of its legacy - in which Fernand Petzl played a pioneering role -
the manufacturer has explored the different realms of the vertical world:
rock, ice, snow, nighttime... The company has also successfully applied
its expertise to rescue and to work-at-height.
To read about the Petzl adventure is to follow women and men
committed to the vertical world, and to exploration. In constant
interaction with an ever-evolving world, they invent new modes
of progression.
