About Petzl

Petzl builds complete climbing systems for tree care: harnesses such as the Sequoia, mechanical friction devices like the ZigZag, lanyards like the Zillon, rope adjusters like the Micrograb, helmets like the Vertex, and a long list of carabiners including the AmD, William and Mino.

Petzl publishes detailed instructions and technical notes for its gear, and they are worth reading. Use compatible ropes and connectors, inspect your gear before every climb, and train with a qualified person before using a new device at height.
