From the deep: the Petzl adventure
A novel about a company and its environment
Though rarely in the spotlight, climbing equipment
represents more than a simple accessory for mountaineers.
The evolution of such carefully designed gear bears witness
to the intelligence climbers use to overcome increasingly
challenging terrain, and embodies their ethical choices.
The tools climbers use clearly reflect their approach to the
mountains.
For forty years, Petzl and its founders have played a major
role in the history of the mountains. With the golden age
of caving as the starting point of its legacy - in which
Fernand Petzl played a pioneering role - the manufacturer
has explored the different realms of the vertical world: rock,
ice, snow, nighttime... The company has also successfully
applied its expertise to rescue and to work-at-height.
To read about the Petzl adventure is to follow women and
men committed to the vertical world, and to exploration.
In constant interaction with an ever-evolving world, they
invent new modes of progression.
