Rock, ice, snow, night ... In addition, the Petzl company also uses its know-how in rescue services and working at heights. The adventure of the Petzl company leads the reader in the footsteps of men and women,
that move in vertical terrain and explore new terrain. They are in constant contact with the constantly evolving activities and devise the aids for their movement.
