Zigzag

The friction chain provides precision and fluidity when positioning. The pulley is mounted on sealed ball bearings for easy slack-tending. Can be used on either doubled ropes or a single rope (by using the separate Chicane add-on). Release lever provides smooth rope feed, allowing great precision and control. Adjusting the pressure on this lever controls the speed of movement. Upper attachment hole has a flexible positioning ring that helps keep the connector oriented along its major axis.

Also available in the Zigzag climbing kit!

Features & Benefits

• 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 is fixed to ensure alignment of the device with the axis of the worker and optimize grip
• 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 diameter
• ZIGZAG allows the user to work in compliance with the ANSI Z133 standard
