The petzl ZigZag is a mechanical Prusik that allows the user to move around efficiently in a tree using a 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 Petzl Tibloc is a compact and ultra-lightweight ascender for use on rope ascents, hauling systems or friction knot replacement in self-rescue situations. The Tibloc has an automatic system that presses the karabiner against the rope to start the braking action. To work well, the original Tibloc should be used with a round bar karabiner. Whilst the new version with the plastic easy release mechanism will work with most karabiners we recommend the Petzl Attache.
