Petzl

A true pillar of the climbing world, Petzl is renowned for producing high-quality, innovative climbing and mountaineering equipment. For decades, many of their products have been the default choice for climbers across disciplines. From indoor climbing gyms to steep sport routes in the Grampians, to committing multi-pitch trad climbs, there is often a Petzl product considered to be the go-to option.

Petzl’s strength lies in designing equipment that is intuitive, durable, and purpose-built for real-world use. It's gear that remains relevant long after its release.

Notable examples include:

Petzl Grigri 
First introduced in 1991, the Petzl GRIGRI revolutionised belaying with assisted braking technology. While it has seen several refinements over the years, the core design remains fundamentally unchanged. Its longevity and continued widespread use speak to its effectiveness, reliability, and iconic status within climbing.

Petzl Connect Adjust 
It has become the benchmark personal anchor system. Its smooth, precise adjustability significantly raised the standard for personal anchors and is now the preferred choice for many climbers due to its simplicity and reliability. Now, I find I sell 5 Connect Adjust's to any one other's personal anchor.

Petzl Headtorches
These have long been leaders in lighting technology for climbing and outdoor use. From early models used in remote climbing areas to modern rechargeable designs, Petzl continues to push innovation. Current models, such as the Petzl Actik Core, are part of our personal kits for daily use, working flawlessly for years. 

Petzl’s ongoing commitment to safety, usability, and innovation has cemented its reputation as one of the most trusted brands in climbing and outdoor equipment worldwide.
