Do we know any more about new cracked ZigZag in Australia?

I'm not sure but I know if I were Petzl I would want him telling the whole world until I had answers myself. Especially since the failure of the last one. Will defiantly be interesting what comes back about the problem though. Either way it's not building a better picture for Petzl. So many were put off when the first ZigZag was recalled. You'd think after the last one they would of crossed their t's and dotted their i's so hopefully no recall for this.

To late mate he posted a picture on Instagram before he spoke to petzl. I know the climber and as far as I know he's returned it to his supplier to be sent back to petzl and is waiting for a reply.

For me it has not made me think of Petzl differently, and from what I gather sales of the zig zag are strong.

Personally I feel more confident with Petzl now because of how they so publically handled the situation, shame I don't care for it so much until they make the improvements that would suit me.

What improvements would you like too see then?

Another attachment hole a la hitchclimber, bigger pulley with deeper more rounded recess to prevent rope damage and improve fair leading when the role is deflected over a branch, and an option without swivel.

Basically hitch climber with the links :thumbup1:

So do you know why the climber isn't answering questions on Instagram?

 

Perhaps he's not a materials expert either so is waiting for petzl to finish their testing 😁
