  • 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 dev
  • 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
  • Durability: - steel construction for improved durability - separated and curved side plates for better wear resistance
  • Rope compatibility: 11.5 to 13 mm diameter ZIGZAG PLUS allows the user to work in compliance with the ANSI Z133 standard


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.

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.

Make sure you thread the rope through correctly. Use good, certified climbing rope. Do not use the cheap Chinese rope for climbing. Your life depends on it. It may not have the proper qualities to use these devices safely. A Zigzag Plus along with a good rope is a great experience. I like to use bifrost; but many professional ropes Made in USA are suitable for use with this device. The EU also makes good ropes.

I weigh about 200Lbs and it keeps me in the tree really well. I was so used to having both hands on my climb line to maintain an upright position and tend a prusik cord that it took a while to get comfortable with. Now I just keep my hands on my flipline instead 🤣 It is smoother than a prusik cord and faster on the way down but easy to control.
