Petzl is a leading manufacturer of climbing and work-at-height equipment and is the chosen manufacturer of our descenders ('IDs'), or put another way, the piece of equipment used to control and brake the ropes (and therefore the cliff technician) when involved in cliff rescues.
We've got an extra training session around this vital equipment tomorrow night.
The first part of the training will be to differentiate between a Petzl and a Pretzel, and the two should never be confused. One is hard, will hurt your teeth and leave an odd aftertaste in your mouth, whilst the other is a professional piece of rope rescue equipment.
