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.”

Partner check: safety check between partners 

Climbing 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”.

"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 wasn’t tied 

in… look, the rope is still hanging from the top!" 

I hadn’t 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 

nether 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 twentyfive 

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… I’m 

quite a safety fanatic, according to my friends. A 

case in point: I had even backed up my son’s belay to 

an over-stuffed pack. 

www.petzl.com 

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.

Backing off a single pitch: descending and removing gear 

You 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?

Descend on a single bolt? Lower or rappel? 

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.

≈ 115 ≈ 115 daN daN 

70 70 kg kg 

≈ 90 ≈ 90 daN daN 

70 70 kg kg 

Stress on the bolt 

The stress on the bolt is approximately 25 daN higher with lowering than with rappelling 

(for two people of 70 kg). This number is negligible compared to the strength required of 

a bolt (2500 daN). 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.

the quickdraw. Descend and 

clean the route. 

The Prusik knot is a multidirectional knot, 

jamming in both directions.

Multi-pitch climbing 

Self-rescue: ascending to the anchor after falling in an overhang 

In 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, REVERSO 3 belay 

device, slings and quickdraws will play 

a key role. On multi-pitch routes, they 

should never 

be forgotten! 

Installing the ascending system 

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. 

3 - With a locking carabiner, 

place the REVERSO 3 on 

the harness in Reverso 

mode. Install the rope in the 

REVERSO 3 with a second 

locking carabiner and take 

up all the slack in the rope. 

2 - Stand up to attach the quickdraw to the 

harness. This maneuver creates slack in the 

rope above the tie-in knot. 

4 - Stand up in the sling to remove the quickdraw. Sitting in 

the harness will transfer your weight onto the REVERSO 3.

Self-rescue: ascending to the anchor after falling in an overhang 

Ascending 

5 - Begin ascending. No need to go quickly; rather, establish a good 

rhythm. 

Move the TIBLOC up the rope, stand in the sling and simultaneously take up the slack in the REVERSO 3. 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 REVERSO 3 and repeat the maneuver. 

8 

Caution: keep your thumb 

on the TIBLOC during the 

entire ascent.

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).

With small ANGE S carabiners, it is more efficient to keep the fingers

if the rope rubs on such a nick, 

it can become damaged and 

require early retirement.

The carabiner gate must always face away from the climber’s 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.

With larger ANGE L (or SPIRIT) carabiners, you can place a finger 

into the carabiner to stabilize it. Then insert the rope.

Mountaineering 

Crevasse rescue: transferring a partner’s weight onto an anchor 

On 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! 

Installation of the anchor 

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.

The transfer 

Connect the MINI TRAXION 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.

Before closing the pulley for the transfer, 

remember to engage the toothed cam 

to allow jamming. Verify the jamming 

direction. 

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. 



Aid climbing 

Hauling a bag: preparation and technique 

13 

www.petzl.com 


In 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 40 kg, rather than one 80 kg 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. 

Preparing for hauling 

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 bag’s 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 PRO TRAXION 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”. 


Aid climbing 

Hauling a bag: preparation and technique 

Hauling technique 

“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 40 kg). 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.

Munter hitch 

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 

Progression on via ferrata: belaying a child 

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 child’s 

• 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 

90 kg. 

15 www.petzl.com 


A 

2 - Regardless of the length of 

the energy absorber, a classic 

rope belay system should be set 

up to enhance the child’s safety. 

The rope is used only to belay 

the child. To reduce weight, a 

30 m length of UIAA rope is 

sufficient. Use a figure eight 

knot to tie into the harness. 

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. 

3 - Use an energy absorbing 

lanyard when passing 

intermediate anchors.

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. 

16 

5 - While progressing, the leader passes the 

rope through the pigtails or the quickdraws; 

the child then removes it. 

8 - Above the pitch, the leader should 

remain visible and set up a station on the 

energy absorbers in order to belay the 

child’s ascent. The rope is used to avoid a 

fall. The child removes the rope from the 

pigtails while progressing.

a fall. 

9 - A REVERSO 3 or a munter hitch on a 

locking carabiner is used for belaying the 

ascent of the second. 



Trail running 

Night trails: tips for choosing a headlamp 

17 

© Lafouche 

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 350 lm 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 150 lm is 

recommended. 

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 (0.25 lux). For example, an 

ULTRA in maximum mode has a lighting distance of 120 m. At 120 m the light it emits is the 

same as that of a full moon, or 0.25 lux. 

Shape of the beam 

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. 

www.petzl.com 

Having 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. 

Let’s explore these parameters.

Trail running 

Night trails: tips for choosing a headlamp 

Duration/burn time 

A headlamp’s 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 moon (0.25 lux). It is expressed in minutes. For example, an ULTRA in high mode has a battery life of 3 h 15, meaning that 

0,25 lux

after 3 h 15, the lighting of an ULTRA at two meters is that of a full moon, or 0.25 lux. Depending on the model of the headlamp, change in 

light output over time is controlled in two ways: regulated lighting and non-regulated lighting. 

18

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. 

Wearing the headlamp 

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.

CORE rechargeable battery and OS by Petzl software 

The new CORE rechargeable battery is designed for the TIKKA 2 - ZIPKA 2 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 

900 batteries. 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 TIKKA 2 - ZIPKA 2 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.

MYO headlamps 

MYO ® XP E83 P2 

Powerful headlamp, four lighting modes, Boost mode and Wide Angle lens 

The MYO XP headlamp was developed for high-level performance. To do this, it uses a high-output LED, a 

Wide Angle lens, three constant lighting modes and a strobe mode. This headlamp provides powerful lighting that 

can be adapted to the situation and the activity. The Wide Angle 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 150 lumens 

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. 



MYO ® XP BELT E84 P2 

Powerful headlamp with remote battery pack, four lighting modes, BOOST mode and Wide Angle lens 

The MYO XP BELT headlamp evolved from the MYO XP. Its remote battery pack reduces the weight worn on the head 

to 75 g 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 Wide Angle lens for switching 

between a wide and a spot beam, three constant lighting modes, a strobe mode for signaling, a Boost mode of 

150 lumens, and a battery charge indicator light. 



MYO ® RXP E87 P 

Powerful, regulated and programmable headlamp, four lighting modes, Boost mode and Wide Angle 

lens 

The MYO RXP 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 three lighting modes, for each of which the 

user can select the power from among ten possible levels, from 8 to 140 lumens. 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 (160 lumens) and a strobe mode that can be programmed. It is compatible 

with lithium batteries to optimize performance, even at low temperatures. The Wide Angle lens offers the option of 

switching instantly from a focused beam to a wide beam when necessary.

NOMAD RD98-- 


Crafted to be a solid performer in nearly any situation, the NOMAD will accompany you up sport climbs, alpine routes, 

or anything in between. A thick sheath, superior handling and a well-tuned balance between dynamic elongation and 

impact force make this a perfect all-around rope. 


static: 9.8 %, % sheath by weight: 36 %, available in 2 colors: red, green. 

XION RD101-- 


The XION was specially created to withstand heavy use, from hangdog sessions, to abrasive rock, to big-wall climbs. 

The sheath’s thickness and weave strike an excellent balance between toughness and handling, allowing the XION to 

perform like a thicker rope while maintaining the feel of a thinner one. 


static: 6.7 %, % sheath by weight: 42 %, available in 2 colors: blue, green. 

DOJO RD102200-- 

10.2 mm single rope for use in gyms 

Gym ropes need to be extra durable to handle intensive, daily use. That’s why the DOJO is the hardiest member of our 

dynamic rope family. It shrugs off abuse with a tightly woven, extra-thick sheath. In addition, the diameter is compatible 

with most belay devices, for smooth feeding and lowering. Excellent for top roping, lead climbing and even big walls. 

Length: 200 m spool, diameter: 10.2 mm, type: single rope, weight: 64 g/m, UIAA falls: 7, impact force: 8.6 kN, elongation: dynamic: 32.5 %, 

static: 8.7 %, % sheath by weight: 44%, available in 2 colors: blue, red.

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 Petzl’s 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. For more information, please consult
