Petzl

Petzl is a French manufacturer of climbing, caving and work‑at‑height equipment based in Crolles, and the company’s film output in this catalog reflects that technical lineage. The six films collected here range from event coverage to high‑altitude, multi‑pitch reporting and expedition‑style big‑wall pieces, and they keep the emphasis on how gear, logistics and team decisions shape outcomes on sustained terrain.

The catalog includes field reports such as Petzl RocTrip China 2011 and Petzl RocTrip Argentina 2012, both documentary records of large gatherings where route development, bolting and festival dynamics are central — the China film records over 250 new sport pitches, while the Argentina piece documents development and climbing in La Buitrera Canyon and Piedra Parada. For sustained multi‑pitch sport at altitude there is ORBAYU [full movie] a climbing Odyssey with Nina Caprez and Cédric Lachat, a focused record of a 500‑metre, 13‑pitch spring attempt on the Naranjo de Bulnes that foregrounds psyche and team choice on one long, hard line.

Petzl’s catalog also extends to remote big‑wall work: MAD in Madagascar shows on‑lead bolting and route‑finding on blank granite in the Tsaranoro massif, while Making History on the Trango Towers, Pakistan - Edu Marin documents a contemporary free ascent effort on Eternal Flame and situates it within the route’s history. Together the films serve as practical documents of route creation, expedition logistics and the equipment‑aware mindset that a company rooted in vertical safety and lighting brings to climbing cinema.
