Welcome on
Petzl team blogs

Climber, alpinist, trail-runner... Each of them will deal with his favorite sport, the one where he's best, and for which he earned an international recognition.

Participate !

Up to you to join the conversation, by commenting the team's contributions (at the bottom of each post). You can also vote for the post you prefer.

Attention, beta version

Just before giving them the mike: like every "web 2.0" website, this blog platform is a "beta" version. Maybe some bugs remain hidden, and there are still some points to enhance, regarding graphics and ergonomics.

Moreover, all of the Petzl international team members don't write on Petzlteam.com yet. They will join us as time goes on, just be patient.

Enjoy !
