Sharing expertise
My father, Fernand Petzl, was an artisan and explorer with a passion for caving. For him, creating and refining equipment was a profound pleasure. He was an obsessive, creative worker who offered his ideas to help his companions by producing the tools they needed to explore the caves of Chartreuse and Vercors (France). From my childhood, I was immersed in this enthusiasm for discovery. Afterwards, at Petzl, we have always started with this idea:designing tools for the people who use them. Tools that help them progress and commit in vertical or dark terrain. Innovative, useful, safe tools, often designed above and beyond the requirements of existing gear. Petzl has introduced changes to practices and techniques that have allowed revolutions to take place in activities related to lighting and verticality - the two areas of expertise in the company. The headlamp in the mountains, the GRIGRI in climbing For forty years innovation has been at the heart of our business - and it remains so now more than ever. By its very nature, progression has no limits:we are constantly inventing new solutions, and there is no reason for this to stop. Today I hope that we share the experience and technical expertise we have acquired at Petzl as widely as possible with those who participate in these activities. It is with the desire to continue to propose and share solutions for progression that we have prepared this 2011 edition of the Petzl catalogue. Paul Petzl President

limbing with zero risk is, of course, impossible. However, learning the right moves, both for climbing and for using the equipment, significantly reduces the risk of accident. But this learning is not everything. Force of habit, over-confidence, and fatigue can all reduce vigilance. For greater security, why not take advantage of the fact that there are usually two climbers? Particularly before really getting started, when the equipment is being put into place. At the crag, as in the mountains, making it a rule to partner check before leaving the ground will make the climbing more relaxed.

Belayer check by climber: Rope positioned correctly in belay device Locked carabiner Knot tied at end of rope
"Seriously, Dad, I never thought this could happen to you!" This is how my twelve-year-old son Vincent scolded me a few weeks after I had landed at his feet on a cement floor after a 10-meter fall in a Grenoble climbing gym. I can still hear the voices coming through the fog of my bewildered conscience: "He wasnt tied in look, the rope is still hanging from the top!" I hadnt completed my knot? Impossible! Not me! And yet Yet it had been a Sunday like any other. Sure, I was a bit tired, a little preoccupied, and in a somewhat noisy gym. Nothing extraordinary, really. It was neither the serac fall of the century, nor the collapse of the West Face of the Drus! No reassuring explanation to help me accept the unacceptable. Reasoning only increased my incomprehension. In my twenty-five years of amateur mountaineering and climbing, never an accident, not even a close call. Maybe one time a few rocks heard falling a bit too close Im quite a safety fanatic, according to my friends. A case in point: I had even backed up my sons belay to an overstuffed pack.
And yet that Sunday I made an error that could have cost me my life. So, was it fate? No! A simple oversight: counting on only your own vigilance shows a dangerous lack of humility. Any day, a seemingly innocent series of events can lead to what many experts have sadly experienced. This one day could be your last. However, with a simple partner check of equipment prior to climbing, it is easy to practically remove this type of risk. Participants in other exposed activities, such as divers, have understood and implemented this concept for a long time. Why not we climbers, mountaineers and cavers? It is time for us, specially the regular participants, to adopt new habits. Romain Lcot Petzl General Director

Techniques for lowering when backing off a climb
ou are unable to climb any higher! The lead climber is stuck at a bolt in the middle of a pitch. The easiest option is to be lowered on top-rope, leaving the quickdraws and asking someone to collect them later, or collecting them yourself after climbing a route next to it. If none of these options is possible, how can you descend and clean the route with limited risk?
Lafouche
Lower or rappel?
115 daN 115 daN 9090 daN daN
Transfer weight to your feet to reduce tension on the quickdraw. Place a quick link in the bolt between the quickdraw and the rock. Thread the rope through the quick link; lock it tightly. Remove the quickdraw. Lower to the next bolt. Repeat the operation. Descend and clean the route. Consequences of a broken bolt If the top bolt breaks, the climber will be held by the second bolt. Transfer weight to your feet to reduce tension on the quickdraw. Place a quick link in the bolt between the quickdraw and the rock. Thread the rope through the quick link; lock it tightly. Make a Prusik knot with a cordelette and attach it to the belay loop of your harness with a locking carabiner. Remove the quickdraw. Descend and clean the route. Consequences of a broken bolt If the top bolt breaks, the climber will be held under the next quickdraw by the Prusik knot. Technique tested on a 4m fall with an 80kg weight, using a 7mm Prusik cordelette and a single 9.7mm rope. Observations: fall arrested cordelette and rope intact

Avoid the risk of breakage When it is difficult to estimate the strength of a bolt, it is necessary to use a technique that takes into account the risk of the anchor breaking. Stress on the bolt The stress on the bolt is approximately 25daN higher with lowering than with rappelling (for two people of 70kg). This number is negligible compared to the strength required of a bolt (2500daN). The stresses placed on a bolt when lowering or rappelling are therefore practically identical. Lowering is therefore recommended since it allows the climber to remain tied in throughout the lowering process.

Multi-pitch climbing
Caution:keep your thumb on the TIBLOC during the entire ascent. 1 - Install the TIBLOC ascender using a locking carabiner. Make a knot at the end of a sling and clip it into the carabiner. This will be your footloop. Place the quickdraw into the sling above the knot. The length of the sling should allow you to stand up in it for ascending. 2 - Stand up to attach the quickdraw to the harness. This maneuver creates slack in the rope above the tie-in knot.
Move the TIBLOC up the rope, stand in the sling and simultaneously take up the slack in the REVERSO3. For maximum efficiency, keep the body aligned with the rope. Sit in the harness, return the hand to the free end of the rope near the REVERSO3 and repeat the maneuver.
n multi-pitch climbs, a situation can quickly become complicated and delicate. For example, when finishing an overhang, the leader falls and finds him/herself hanging in midair, under the roof. Imagine that it is impossible to grab the rope or the rock, or to be lowered by the second (not enough rope). The only solution is to be autonomous and ascend the rope alone. The TIBLOC ascender, REVERSO3 belay device, slings and quickdraws will play a key role. On multi-pitch routes, they should never be forgotten!
3 - With a locking carabiner, place the REVERSO3 on the harness in Reverso mode. Install the rope in the REVERSO3 with a second locking carabiner and take up all the slack in the rope.
4 - Stand up in the sling to remove the quickdraw. Sitting in the harness will transfer your weight onto the REVERSO3.

lipping a carabiner or quickdraw is a basic technique associated with the progression of a climber. At first glance, nothing too complicated. In the detail, though, there are many aspects to consider in order to move quickly and surely:in particular, placement of the quickdraw into the bolt in relation to the rope, and methods of clipping the rope. For example, when clipping a half rope in the middle of a crux with a small carabiner, good clipping skills are a must 2 1 Here are some tips for making life easier and climbing in peace.
Always use a quickdraw equipped with STRING type webbing protection. The anchor-end carabiner must be mobile (no STRING). The rope-end carabiner must be fixed (with STRING). Warning:never install two STRINGs on one quickdraw. It would be too rigid: risk of poor positioning (e.g. cantilevered loading).
Tony Lamiche
The carabiner gate must always face away from the climbers direction of travel. The rope in the carabiner must pass through it from the cliff side to the outside. Incorrect positioning of the quickdraw or the rope could cause the rope to unclip, either due to rope movement or to the carabiner flipping on the bolt during a fall.
Ultra-light, compact carabiners with MonoFilKeylock system. Contact surfaces designed to extend the life of the carabiner and limit rope wear Straight nose to optimize clipping and unclipping Extra-wide 23mm opening (ANGES) MonoFilKeylock system H-profile provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio ANGE L ANGE S
With small ANGES carabiners, it is more efficient to keep the fingers on the outside. Stabilize the quickdraw carabiner and put the rope through it.
With larger ANGEL (or SPIRIT) carabiners, you can place a finger into the carabiner to stabilize it. Then insert the rope.

Transferring the weight
Once the anchor point is in place, you can begin transferring the weight.
MINI TRAXION
Installing the progress capture pulley First, install the progress capture pulley on the rope holding the victim. Be sure that the pictogram of the person on the black side plate is on the side of the victim.
Before closing the pulley for the transfer, remember to engage the toothed cam to allow jamming. Verify the jamming direction.
mini 50 cm
The transfer Connect the MINITRAXION to the anchor sling with a symmetrical locking carabiner (OK). Slide the progress capture pulley down the rope to put the sling under tension. Slowly and smoothly transfer the weight. The rescuer places partial tension on the anchor to check that it is solid. He can then transfer the entire load.
Once the load is on the anchor, the remainder of the rescue can be organized:ascending the rope, hauling Warning:to prevent further accidents, the rescuer(s) should always remain on back-up belay.
A dead-man anchor is used The principle is to use an object that provides sufficient resistance to the tension exerted on it. In snow, you can bury an ice axe, a backpack, a ski. If there is ice, you will need an ice screw. Complete the anchor by attaching a long sling. In snow, it is important to place the sling in a groove in the anticipated direction of pull so that the buried object is not pulled out.

n a glacier, the classic accident is of course a fall into a crevasse. If progression is on a taut rope, the appropriate reflex of the surface climbers would be to arrest the fall with their counterweight. Once the fall is arrested, the first priority is to create an anchor to support the weight of the victim. With a party of two, the surface climber is alone. She must install an anchor and transfer the weight of the victim onto it by herself. To succeed, she must carry out the following sequence, all the while staying in counterbalance and having all her gear (progress capture pulley, carabiner, sling) easily accessible on the harness. Training is essential!
Aid climbing
Hauling technique
n aid climbing, it is essential to organize your equipment. It is impossible to empty your haul bag at each station to find an item forgotten at the bottom. Each item must have its place. In the same way, organization for hauling should also be efficient. First of all, having several bags of 30 to 40kg, rather than one 80kg bag, is a good idea. It is not uncommon to see an inexperienced party leave with a huge bag and spend two or three hours hauling it up one pitch! Choosing the hauling technique best suited to, for example, a traverse or a big overhang is also key. Here are some tips for efficiency and for avoiding any serious errors. Before you head off for a vertical adventure of two or three days, training is strongly recommended.
Munter hitch
Attachment of haul bag The haul bag should always remain attached. The attachment knot should be protected with a cut plastic bottle to keep it from snagging in a crack or under an overhang. Between the knot and the bag, you can use a SWIVEL to avoid rope twists during manipulations. Only one of the bags two haul straps is attached to the carabiner or maillon under the SWIVEL. This way it is easy to open the bag without dropping it. When hauling, nothing should stick out from the bag, and the sling should be folded behind the flaps. Have a lanyard ready for attaching the bag to the station (a knotted rope end is perfect).
Installing a progress capture pulley Install the PROTRAXION progress capture pulley on the station, always with two connectors: one locking, for connecting the pulley to the station another for locking the swinging side plate Always check the positioning of the pulley with respect to the direction of rope pull. The direction of pull should be in line with the pulley. With lateral pull, the rope can be damaged, or get caught between the swinging side plate and the sheave. Remember:Because of the great stresses created during hauling, the hauling station should be triangulated and bomb-proof.
Balancier technique The easiest and most efficient hauling technique is the balancier on the ASCENSION handled rope clamp. It uses the weight of the body as a counterweight to raise the bag. This technique is efficient, although it can only be used with a light bag (30 to 40kg). For heavier bags, you can either use two climbers for counterweight or employ other hauling techniques. Warning:during these manipulations, the counterweight climber must always remain attached to the station with a rope.
Traverses and overhangs When the pitch is a traverse or a big overhang, the hauling technique needs to be adapted. The goal is to place the bag plumb with the direction of the hauling station to limit pendulums and stress on the anchor. First, attach the bag several meters from the lower end of the rope. The lower climber lowers the bag on a Munter hitch while the upper climber hauls gently. Once the bag is vertically aligned with the upper anchor, normal hauling continues.

Via ferrata
via ferrata outing with the children can be both fun and educational. Bars, ramps, steps, suspension bridges, and rope-bridges create a playground that is ideal for learning about upward progression.
4 - Over easy horizontal traverses, the leader and child use their progression lanyards to progress simultaneously with the rope taut.
5 - While progressing, the leader passes the rope through the pigtails or the quickdraws; the child then removes it.
6 - A relatively close tie-in allows better supervision of the child. Lanyards will keep the child connected to the cable in case of a fall.
With children, it is essential to use a rope along with energy absorbing lanyards
1 - On a via ferrata, as with all vertical activities, there is never a zero risk factor. With children, the parents / leaders vigilance should be heightened. Some tips for preparing the outing: Choose a via ferrata that you know, one that is manageable, with escape options, and suited to your technical level as well as your childs Explain the instructions for safe progression before leaving Be properly equipped:appropriate footwear, technical equipment (harnesses, energy absorbing lanyards, helmets, ropes) Plan for enough water and food And of course, check the weather forecast before leaving
Most via ferrata energy absorbers are not designed for belaying children. For example, the SCORPIO lanyard is designed for belaying a person weighing between 45 and 90kg.
2 - Regardless of the length of the energy absorber, a classic rope belay system should be set up to enhance the childs safety. The rope is used only to belay the child. To reduce weight, a 30m length of UIAA rope is sufficient. Use a figure eight knot to tie into the harness.
3 - Use an energy absorbing lanyard when passing intermediate anchors. To learn more about progression techniques using energy absorbing lanyards: www.petzl.com
7 - During vertical sections, the leader progresses with energy absorbing lanyards and passes the rope through the pigtails or the quickdraws, if necessary, to keep it in line. The child waits on belay with his lanyards and helps manage the rope. Caution:these pitches should not be too long.
8 - Above the pitch, the leader should remain visible and set up a station on the energy absorbers in order to belay the childs ascent. The rope is used to avoid a fall. The child removes the rope from the pigtails while progressing.
9 - A REVERSO3 or a munter hitch on a locking carabiner is used for belaying the ascent of the second.

Trail running
aving a good understanding of lighting performance is essential for choosing a headlamp for night running. This performance is linked to notions like luminous flux, distance, battery life, and lighting regulation. Lets explore these parameters.
Duration/burn time
A headlamps battery life should be considered in relation to the length of the race. It is the length of time during which lighting is greater than the light of a full 0,25 ULTRA in high mode has a battery life of 3h15, meaning that after 3h15, the lighting of an ULTRA at moon 2(0.25lux). It is expressed in minutes. For example, an lux m t (h) twometers0h30 that of a full moon, or 0.25lux. Depending on the model of the headlamp, change in light output over time is controlled in two ways:regulated lighting is t 10h t0 t t 30h and non-regulated lighting.

Regulated lighting Lighting level is constant. It remains at a high a level for a certain period of time, then decreases markedly after that time. Regulated lighting headlamps are designed for trails, where full power is important.
Unregulated lighting As soon as the headlamp is on, light output begins to decrease gradually. This progressive decrease allows longer battery life. This mode is useful when light output is not the most important consideration.
Luminous flux
For a headlamp, the luminous flux, measured in lumens (lm), represents the total quantity of visible light emitted. It is the equivalent of the horsepower of a car or motor. For example, a Petzl ULTRA reaches a luminous power of 350lm in maximum mode. The quantity of light needed varies among individuals, the nature of the terrain and the race and expected speed. Nevertheless, a good luminous flux allows you to see better, to save your strength and to go faster. For technical trails, a power greater than 150lm is recommended.
2m t0
0,25 lux
t (h)
Headlamps are worn either all on the head or in a BELT version (lighting on the head, remote energy source). The BELT versions reduce the weight on the head. The remote battery pack allows the energy source to be protected from the cold under clothes. The energy available is thus better conserved.
Arnaud Childeric
Lighting distance
Light quantity, received by a surface, diminishes as its distance from the light source increases. This is the lighting parameter that is measured in Lux. For many headlamp manufacturers, lighting distance indicates the distance to which the quantity of light received on a surface is equivalent to the quantity of light of a full moon (0.25lux). For example, an ULTRA in maximum mode has a lighting distance of 120m. At 120m the light it emits is the same as that of a full moon, or 0.25lux.
Thomas Marchand
The new CORE rechargeable battery is designed for the TIKKA2- ZIPKA2 headlamp line. This battery is easy to insert into the headlamp in a few seconds instead of the usual three batteries. It offers an advantage over standard batteries for frequent or intensive headlamp use. It is more economical to use - it pays for itself after four sets of alkaline batteries. Lithium Ion Polymer technology guarantees a battery life equivalent to more than 900batteries. The CORE battery contributes in a truly efficient way to limiting waste that is harmful to the environment. It is very easy to insert and can be charged via any standard USB charger:a cell phone charger, a multimedia device, cigar lighter charger, or even a solar panel, a portable energy source, a computer,etc. OS by Petzl software is intuitive and user-friendly, and allows you to configure the battery to personalize the performance of TIKKA2 - ZIPKA2 headlamps to respond to your lighting needs. Once the CORE is connected to a computer loaded with OS by Petzl, you can choose between regulated or non-regulated lighting. Lighting duration and intensity can also be adjusted.
For the same light output, depending on the headlamp model, the flux can be uniformly distributed over a very wide area, or be concentrated in a very narrow spot to have a much greater lighting distance. This type of lighting is recommended for technical trails, where you have to see far and quickly. For a classic trail, mixed lighting, which combines a wide beam and a focused beam, is practical.

MYO XP E83 P2
Powerful headlamp, fourlighting modes, Boost mode and WideAngle lens The MYOXP headlamp was developed for high-level performance. To do this, it uses a high-output LED, a WideAngle lens, three constant lighting modes and a strobe mode. This headlamp provides powerful lighting that can be adapted to the situation and the activity. TheWideAngle lens option is useful for instantly switching between long-range and proximity lighting. If necessary, it is possible to occasionally increase the light output to 150lumens with the Boost mode (to locate a person, a car,etc.). To efficiently manage battery life, this headlamp comes with a battery charge indicator light.
Light quantity:85 lumens (maximum mode), beam type:wide / focused, distance:72 m (maximum mode), burn time:180 h (economic mode), weight on the head:175 g
Hybrid waterproof headlamp: halogen/ 5LEDs Water proof down to -5m and sturdily constructed, the DUOLED5 headlamp is perfect for water sports. Its hybrid light source can be directed to adapt the lighting to the needs: halogen lighting for focused, regulated, long-range lighting; LED lighting for long-duration proximity lighting.
Light quantity:40 lumens (5 LEDs), beam type:wide / focused, distance:100 m (halogen), burn time:65 h (5 LEDs), weight on the head:300 g
Powerful headlamp with remote battery pack, fourlighting modes, BOOST mode and WideAngle lens The MYOXPBELT headlamp evolved from the MYOXP. Its remote battery pack reduces the weight worn on the head to 75g and protects the batteries from the cold to prolong their burn time. This lamp has all the features required for intensive use in any conditions: a high-output LED for powerful lighting, an optional WideAngle lens for switching between a wide and a spot beam, threeconstant lighting modes, a strobe mode for signaling, a Boost mode of 150lumens, and a battery charge indicator light.
Light quantity:85 lumens (maximum mode), beam type:wide / focused, distance:72 m (maximum mode), burn time:180 h (economic mode), weight on the head:75 g
Hybrid waterproof headlamp: halogen/ 14LEDs with threeregulated lighting modes The DUOLED14 headlamp is waterproof to -5m. It is specially adapted for caving and water sports. It has twolight sources:a halogen bulb for lighting over long distances with a focused beam, and 14LEDs for proximity lighting with a longer burn time. This second light source has threelighting modes, which are regulated to ensure constant lighting. When the batteries become weak, the headlamp switches automatically to reserve power mode.
Light quantity:67 lumens (14 LEDs), beam type:wide / focused, distance:100 m (halogen), burn time:183 h (14 LEDs, economic mode), weight on the head:300 g
Powerful, regulated and programmable headlamp, fourlighting modes, Boost mode and WideAngle lens The MYORXP is the first Petzl headlamp that is regulated and programmable, allowing the user to choose the order of lighting levels and to precisely adapt light output. To do this, there are threelighting modes, for each of which the user can select the power from among tenpossible levels, from 8 to 140lumens. This feature allows the lamp to be programmed for the type of activity and the length of use. Maximum power lighting would be suited for a short night run, for example; less powerful lighting would help preserve battery life and would therefore be ideal for a multi-day trek. This headlamp has Boost mode (160lumens) and a strobe mode that can be programmed. It is compatible with lithium batteries to optimize performance, even at low temperatures. The WideAngle lens offers the option of switching instantly from a focused beam to a wide beam when necessary.
Light quantity:140 lumens (level n10), beam type:wide / focused, distance:77 m (level n10), burn time:95 h (level n1), weight on the head:175 g
Hybrid waterproof headlamp: halogen/ 14LEDs with threeregulated lighting modes and rechargeable battery With a Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack, the DUOLED14ACCU headlamp is designed for serious cavers. This headlamp is waterproof to -5m and has a halogen light source for focused, distance lighting, and a second, 14LED source for longduration, proximity lighting. The user has threeregulated proximity lighting modes at his disposal. The lamp automatically switches to reserve power mode when batteries are almost discharged. The battery pack is quickly recharged using its wall charger.

Training
The use of Petzl products demands technical knowledge and competence. This is why Petzl offers to take each user, or retailer, through a range of specialized workshops dedicated to vertical activities. These are available locally in each country through Petzls international distribution network. The Petzl Institute was created to be a place for exchange and experimentation. Its goal is to unite experiences and knowledge under one roof in order to invent and develop the techniques of tomorrow. To reach these objectives, it is necessary to increase our understanding of the different components of verticality. This modeling phase is essential. It must integrate human dimensions, both physiological and psychological, as well as technical dimensions, which may involve equipment or progression.
