I always see these orange Petzl Spirit dogbones in pictures of pro climbers and feel that the standard spirits with grey dogbanes are a pretty common sight but never the orange ones with the big Petzl on the side. Are these exclusive to sponsored athletes for the added branding for photos or was it just an old style? Pic included for reference.

Those will allow you to climb at two letter grades higher!

When I was climbing in Australia last year I noticed a local online shop was selling them so I had a couple shipped to the air bnb we were staying at. Haven’t found these selling in the US though. www.climbinganchors.com.au/ was where I found it

You could get these Beal ones and just profile on fools from a distance like they were the Petzl ones #DontLetEmGetTooCloseTho

Apparently even Petzl US employees can't easily get their hands on those bones.

The existence of this thread is evidence their marketing approach to this is working.  I’m old enough to remember when the “athlete only” cool kid versions were black with the white Petzl logo.

I'm old enough to remember (and own) the neon colored ones

I had a full rack of the orange and purple/black(12cm), and yellow and black(17cm), all with the anodized Petzl Spirit, straight on bolt end bent on rope side.

I really miss those guys, easiest draw in the world to clip.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
