## 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. Description Intuitive to use: - technique identical to classic Prusik pulley system - the device locks automatically on the rope once the friction chain extends 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 - auxiliary attachment hole for adding a ZILLON lanyard or connecting a second system Durability: - steel construction for improved durability - separated and curved side plates for better wear resistance Rope compatibility: 11.5 to 13 mm Guarantee 3 years

Review: Best DRT device available in my opnion - I’m a new climber and I love the zigzag! Easy to use (for me that saying something as I only have 1 hand (ied in Iraq). It’s small, robust, extremely smooth and with the chicane does DRT and srt. It excels in DRT, which is my preference whenever possible. I’ve used it srt, but prefer to use an srt specific device if available. I run mine on 11.8mm adrenaline and it runs great! Not being mid line attachable isn’t as convenient but it’s dang near bomb proof! Trust my life to Petzl 100%
Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Impressive Quality — Built to Last - Truly impressed with this device. The quality is top-notch with no shortcuts taken anywhere. Every part feels durable, solid, and made to last. I use it multiple times a day for tree work and it has given me zero issues. The performance is smooth, reliable, and consistent every time. This is a tool you can depend on — highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nearly perfect device.
*by C***U on September 22, 2024*

I’ve purchased a few of these things to keep on different rope setups. After a few years of using the Rope Runner Pro I went back to the Zig Zag and doubt I’ll ever switch devices again. These things are the smoothest devices on the market and the fact that there is a connection point to receive the return end of rope while using DRT (90% of my climbing) makes the device nearly tend itself while ascending. This feature alone sets it above the competition. While midline attachable devices are handy, I haven’t found that feature to outweigh the benefits I get from the Zig Zag. My Zig Zags stay on my ropes for the most part and just get stashed into my rope bag at the end of every flaking.
