Petzl Climbing Ropes

Petzl Ropes, the result of 50 years of work

With the desire to improve the equipment he used to explore the depths, Fernand Petzl began to imagine new tools. A passionate caver and skilled craftsman, it was in his workshop near Grenoble, in the Chartreuse mountains, that he designed and created tools to simplify his vertical adventures. In 1968, the inventor launched his first products and founded the company Petzl in 1970. A visionary and true pioneer, Fernand revolutionised techniques and developed, as early as 1943, the nylon rope, which became highly sought after in outdoor sports such as mountaineering, climbing, and sailing, as well as for industrial applications. Since then, Petzl Climbing Ropes have undergone constant improvements to meet today’s demands and equip the most discerning climbers. In addition to ropes, the Petzl collection now includes Petzl harnesses, Petzl gloves, headlamps, and climbing gear such as Petzl carabiners.

Petzl, ropes for every use

Whether you’re looking for a single rope, double/twin rope, a climbing cord, or a rope with multi-standard certification, the Petzl range has the product that meets your needs. Pack everything in your Petzl rope bag and you’re ready for the big routes.

Petzl's dynamic single ropes

For indoor climbing, cragging, or mountaineering, Petzl single ropes provide excellent grip and consistent handling over time. Adjust your women's climbing trousers and attach your Contact 9.8 mm rope to your harness. Offering an excellent balance between lightweight and durability for greater versatility, it ensures perfect comfort in use. Its excellent grip and handling facilitate manipulations and the use of belaying devices. Finally, its sheath thickness contributes to its durability. Perfect for staying in touch.

Petzl's dynamic double ropes

For use in multi-pitch, mountaineering, or ice climbing, Petzl double ropes are ideal due to their great handling and durability. The Rumba 8 mm rope features a reinforced sheath and Duratec Dry hydrophobic treatment that enhances its performance in all conditions, especially against water, dirt, and abrasion. Its excellent grip and handling facilitate manipulations.

Petzl's semi-static ropes

For caving and canyoning, rope ascents, and hauling or crag equipment, Petzl semi-static ropes are ideal. Resistant to abrasion while remaining supple and lightweight, they also feature low elongation. The Push 9 mm rope, for example, offers good grip and an excellent weight/durability ratio. It includes a margin to compensate for the rope's retraction during initial uses.

Petzl's cords

Depending on their diameter, cords are intended to reinforce a belay, create a prusik knot, make a loop, or attach accessories. The Rad Line 6 mm, for instance, is an ultra-light and compact static cord designed for skiers for crevasse rescue, rappelling, and glacier roping to escape a crevassed area. Its rough sheath provides excellent grip and facilitates manipulations, descent control during rappels, and braking during crevasse falls. Quite useful!

Petzl slings and Kits

Slings, rings, and Petzl kits all have different purposes. The St Anneau rings, for example, are a lighter alternative to all-nylon slings. Made from HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) and polyamide, they offer a weight-saving alternative but also flexibility. Another product, the Axess slings are robust and come with a String to assemble a quickdraw. They help stabilise the carabiner and protect the sling from wear. Finally, the Rad System Kit allows skiers in the mountains to always have the necessary equipment for crevasse rescue, rappelling, or ski roping to escape a crevassed area.
