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 bewil-dered 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 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 incompre-hension. In my twenty-five years of amateur mountainee-ring 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.

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, moun-taineers 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?

Lowering off two pointsTechniques for lowering when backing off a climb

Lowering with Prusik

Stress on the boltThe 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.

Avoid the risk of breakageWhen 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.

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.

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.

The Prusik knot is a multidirectional knot, jamming in both directions.

Consequences of a broken boltIf the top bolt breaks, the climber will be held by the second bolt.

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

Installing the ascending system Ascending

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 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.

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

Caution: keep your thumb on the TIBLOC during the entire ascent.

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!

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.

4 - Stand up in the sling to remove the quickdraw. Sitting in the harness will transfer your weight onto the REVERSO 3.

Quickdraws and carabiners: placement and clipping Multi-pitch climbing

Clipping 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… Here are some tips for making life easier and climbing in peace.

Placing the quickdraw

With small ANGE S carabiners, it is more efficient to keep the fingers on the outside. Stabilize the quickdraw carabiner and put the rope through it.

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.

Clipping the rope

Rope path

ANGE L and ANGE SUltra-light, compact carabiners with MonoFil Keylock system.

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).

Note: always use the same carabiners for the anchor-end or the rope-end. Never put an anchor-end carabiner on the rope-end. An anchor-end carabiner may become slightly nicked with use. During a fall, if the rope rubs on such a nick, it can become damaged and require early retirement.

at www.petzl.com

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

A dead-man anchor is usedThe 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.

Installation of the 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!

Transferring the weightOnce the anchor point is in place, you can begin transferring the weight.

The transferConnect 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.

Installing the progress capture pulleyFirst, 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.

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.

Before closing the pulley for the transfer, remember to engage the toothed cam to allow jamming. Verify the jamming direction.

Hauling a bag: preparation and technique

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 bagThe 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 pulleyInstall 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 plateAlways 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”.

Hauling technique

“Balancier” techniqueThe 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.

Traverses and overhangsWhen 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.

Progression on via ferrata: belaying a child

A 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.

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

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.

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.

3 - Use an energy absorbing lanyard when passing intermediate anchors.To learn more about progression techniques using energy absorbing lanyards: www.petzl.com

Belaying while moving

Belaying from a fixed anchor

4 - Over easy horizontal traverses, the leader and child use their progression lanyards to progress simultaneously with the rope taut.

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.

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.

9 - A REVERSO 3 or a munter hitch on a locking carabiner is used for belaying the ascent of the second.

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.

Luminous fluxFor 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.

Duration/burn timeA 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 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.

Lighting distanceLight 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.

Wearing the headlampHeadlamps 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.

Shape of the beamFor 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.

CORE rechargeable battery and OS by Petzl softwareThe 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.

Unregulated lightingAs 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.

Regulated lightingLighting 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.

Trail runningNight trails: tips for choosing a headlamp

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.

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.
