Progressing, sharing...<br />
Since our beginnings in caving, <strong>Petzl</strong>'s mission has remained<br />
constant: to design practical tools that help people to operate<br />
in vertical and/or dark environments. After Fernand <strong>Petzl</strong>'s first<br />
production run of ascenders and descenders in his workshop,<br />
the family business began to apply caving tools to other<br />
vertical environments: first to alpine activities, with climbing and<br />
mountaineering, then to professional activities, with work at height<br />
and rescue in difficult locations.<br />
Beyond the equipment itself, mountaineering, climbing or caving<br />
at any level requires solid preparation. Being prepared means<br />
having the knowledge and practical experience in the activity, with<br />
one ultimate goal: the ability to face different situations, whether<br />
basic, unexpected or emergency, and reduce the risk of an<br />
accident.<br />
At <strong>Petzl</strong>, we are committed to sharing our technical expertise with<br />
our user communities, an obvious connection. With this in mind,<br />
we have been providing resources (notices, catalogs, website,<br />
videos) and in-the-field activities for a long time. Our training<br />
and experimentation center in Crolles (France) now allows us to<br />
go even further in this direction. The 2012 catalog that you are<br />
holding is of course part of this commitment.<br />
We wish you fantastic adventures to come!<br />
