The other day I walked into the studio (Neverland) armed with one goal for the morning… build a system that is Functionality Efficient in Gear Efficient in People Efficient in Physics AHD Based Small Team Based One Person Load Very Reproducible Raise Only Based (but with a margin of error that allows for downward adjustments… […]
So I received some great information from Petzl. Soon, I will release a better and more specific release (pic and vids), but for now… I wanted to address some questions I have received over the last month or so. Currently images do exist out in cyberspace, but we’d prefer to use our own or Petzl’s
