Meeting with Petzl America

Hey guys, this is Jacob again from Rope and Rescue. Yesterday we got to meet with Charlie Oliver, our regional rep for Petzl America. Charlie was kind enough to bring out some of the latest Petzl gear.

Of course, the centerpiece of the Petzl line is it's work positioning system. The Navaho Bod Croll Fast is a slick harness that has an ascender built in. When paired with a hand ascender, it is a simple system for ascending a rope. The harness has many built in attachment points so connecting to your main line and safety line is a breeze. For descent Petzl has the popular I'D and RIG for advanced users. For safety, there is the ASAP, a trailing rope grab that is anti-panic.

Charlie also showed us the latest in Petzl pulleys and headlamps. Expect to see those on the site very soon.

Special thanks to Charlie and Petzl for coming out and supporting Rope and Rescue. We love getting our hands on the equipment and learning new techniques.
