Designer Fernand Petzl discovered caving in the 30s. He quickly devised new techniques for this discipline and began making pieces for himself. Together with his friend Pierre Chevalier, they set new records with their new progression tools. Fernand Petzl makes caving legend and history. In 1970, with his sons, he extended the business to include mountaineering equipment, creating the first headlamp dedicated to mountaineers.
