The Petzl Book
The Petzl Book
The Petzl Book, subtitled From the Deep: the Petzl Adventure, is a 272-page hardcover history of Petzl, from its roots in caving through rock, ice, snow and night exploration.
Written by Sophie Cuenot and Herve Bodeau with a preface by climber Lynn Hill, it traces four decades of Petzl equipment and the people who used it, told through photography and first-hand stories rather than technical manuals. It suits climbers, cavers, mountain guides and anyone with an interest in the history of outdoor and vertical-access equipment, and it makes a gift for a colleague or client rather than a working reference. Siren Safety stocks two editions: reference Z180 FR is the French-language edition, and reference Z18001 EN is the English-language gift-box edition, so language is the deciding factor when choosing between them.
