The Petzl Vertex U shaped rear adjustment

The Petzl Ouistiti Full Body harness has been designed to be used by small children who may not have well-defined enough hip to latch onto a regular sit harness. The full body design of the Ouistiti is necessary to ensure the child's safety and is an ideal harness for sport climbing, via ferrata and even caving.

The Petzl Stop is a popular choice of descender, thanks to it being easy to use and having the backup of the automatic brake (remember to lock it off if you've stopped though!). It can also be used instead of a chest jammer in an emergency on short pitches. The downside is that it can get a bit warm on long descents of a dry rope (think Alum pot North West) so take a squeezy bottle of water with you!

The Fixe is a lightweight and compact pulley that is quick to install on the rope. Designed for use in hauling systems and deviations it offers a good balance between weight and strength. The Fixe has fixed side plates which allow for quick installation and coupling with a rope clamp. The 21mm aluminium sheave is mounted on self-lubricating bushings for greater efficiency.
