Useful resource - knots, climbing safety etc.

Hi all

This will be my last post for a while, off to far off lands till the autumn...

Picked up a copy of the new Petzl catalogue in Budapest the other day and was impressed by all the line drawings detailing mountain safety, knots etc. it contained.

On a whim I checked out their website and there is an english language downloadable version.

Get it here...

Nice resource.

Apart from the gear the bits to do with ropework haven't changed since I bought my Petzl Guru years ago.

The Petzl catalogues have always been a good resource, if I remember right the Edelrid climbing gear catalogue being very good in that respect also.
