Yea, another huge thanks to LYON here. Earlier in the summer, I noticed there had been a safety recall on the Petzl Scorpio Via Ferrata lanyards. This was a week before we were heading off to Austria and we have 3 of these sets in the family - I contacted LYON who are the agents for Petzl, explained the problem and they arranged for them to be collecetd from my office and they were checked and returned within 2 days - brilliant service. As it turns out we didn't use them, we spent the whole wee sport climbing but hey ho!
