The Petzl Kootenay has a large diameter sheave on sealed ball bearings, providing good efficiency and rope care, and the high volume rope channel allows knots to pass through. The Kootenay also has the ability to be used as an anchor thanks the locking pins on the sheave.

The Petzl Crevasse Rescue Kit is a definite essential piece of kit for alpine climbing, mountaineering, glacial travel (whether on foot or ski) for training courses. This kit allows for rapid deployment and use in rescues where someone falls in a crevasse.

At 85g, the Petzl Micro Traxion pulley is perfect to keep on your harness for emergency use. Originally designed for crevasse rescue in assisted and z hoists we also feel that it is light enough that it could live on the back of your harness year round for general climbing rescue being much more efficient and smoother to use than a prussik loop.

The Climbing Technology RollNlock is an ultralight pulley and rope clamps that weighs in at just 80g! it's been designed for use in work, rope climbing manoeuvres, rescues and self-rescue situations.

The Petzl Spatha clippable knife is designed to accompany the climber on every outing. The profile of the blade allows easy cutting of ropes and cordage. It has a carabiner hole for attaching the knife to the harness. It is easy to manipulate with its textured wheel, even when wearing gloves, and can be locked in the open position.

The Petzl Tibloc is a compact and ultra-lightweight ascender for use on rope ascents, hauling systems or friction knot replacement in self-rescue situations. The Tibloc has an automatic system that presses the karabiner against the rope to start the braking action. To work well, the original Tibloc should be used with a round bar karabiner. Whilst the new version with the plastic easy release mechanism will work with most karabiners we recommend the Petzl Attache.

The Wild Country Ropeman MK2 has become ‘standard issue’ for many mountaineering and crag activities. It's been built with hot forged side plates and a stainless steel cam, making the product lighter and providing a better internal radius for smooth operation across a broader range of karabiners. The Ropeman 2 works with a wide range of rope diameters and if suitable for a range of used from self-rescue and cliff rescue to mouflage and more, these mini-marvels have been well proven in the field.
