Petzl TECH GUIDES

Starting back in January 2018, Petzl started publishing what they are calling ACCESS BOOKS. An ACCESS BOOK is a downloadable booklet that provides a selection of techniques specific to an activity. To learn and/or review the techniques for your favourite activity, take advantage of the wealth of information provided in each ACCESS BOOK as you pursue your favourite projects from one season to the next.

We strongly recommend these to all outdoor enthusiasts. So far, they have released:

ACCESS BOOK #1: Belaying in a climbing gym

ACCESS BOOK #2: How to prepare and plan for a ski tour

ACCESS BOOK #3: Progression basics for via ferrata

ACCESS BOOK #4: Ice Climbing Basics

ACCESS BOOK #5: Sport Climbing and Belaying 

Get these from Petzl's site https://www.petzl.com/INT/en/Sport/News/2018-1-3/Tech-tip-guides-by-Petzl

New Tech Tip Guides by Petzl contain their usual level of great information and fantastic illustrations that we used to get in their Sport Catalogues. Each Tech Tip Guide covers a subject that usually gets skirted over by those of us that have been doing it a while and undervalued by those that are new. Things like good belaying practices, why you need to wear a helmet, planning trips etc.
