U PITON: Semi-Hardened Steel for Wide Crack Placements Offered by TLS Emergency Equipment in Colorado, the Petzl U is a forged, semi-hardened steel piton designed for wide cracks in limestone or granite. Its U-shaped profile addresses wider placements, while the non-heat-treated steel is designed to conform to the shape of the crack during installation.
