1 review for PETZL Zigzag Plus

  1. matiasdude42

    Makes access an absolute breeze. I decided to just go for it right from the start, and as much as I intend to keep practicing my prusiks, I don’t see myself doing much climbing without my zigzag anytime soon. It’s as smooth as I can imagine anything really can be, and I look forward to trying it out in the SRT configuration when I get to buying the next round of gear. One little thing is that the release can feel a bit sudden/jerky, but if you first depress the tabby side of the top link, and then ease onto the other side, the release is very smooth.

Description

The ZIGZAG PLUS mechanical Prusik allows the user to move around efficiently in a tree using classic Prusik pulley system technique. The friction chain provides precision and fluidity when moving around. The pulley is mounted on sealed ball bearings to allow the slack to be taken up easily. Can be used on either doubled ropes or a single rope, providing great versatility. The lower attachment hole with high-efficiency swivel ensures stable and correct positioning of the mechanical Prusik and optimal rope glide through the device.

  • For efficient movement within the tree:
    • rope feed is smooth and precise thanks to the release lever, allowing the user great control over his/her movements.
  • Adjusting the pressure on this lever controls the speed of movement
    • easy to take up slack, thanks to the pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings and the separated and curved side plates
    • lower attachment hole with high-efficiency swivel ensures stable and correct positioning of the mechanical Prusik and optimal rope glide through the device
  • Versatile:
    • for use on either doubled ropes or a single rope, thanks to the CHICANE accessory, which offers more friction on the descent, and the KNEE ASCENT assemblies, which facilitate the ascent
    • upper attachment hole for the rope end when using a doubled rope or for the CHICANE auxiliary braking device when using a single rope. It has a flexible positioning ring that helps keep the connector oriented along its major axis
