Thanks for sharing . A friend of mine use's one . I,m going to text him now so he's aware of this problem .

Its becoming a joke now at the amount that are breaking I've seen 3 now including this one this week!! Its not doing the Petzl name any good but will be a big step for them to recall the mk2. With all that said im still using mine.

This is a real shame.....I have got to grips with mine and absolutely love it, oh well...back to the hitch climber when mine eventually breaks.

Cheers Matty

Ha. Fourth one I've seen.

 

Knew I would just waste money and have said and stayed with hitch climber. Glad I did.

Someone put a link to petzl website early April regarding information on this

Sure looks very poor swivel function to me, leveraging the chain link closest to the swivel.

 

Either beef up those highly leveraged links, or design a better swivel that doesn't impede a rope's ability to swivel laterally 360 degrees.

Their engineers should try two swivel points. The addition being the chain attachment to the body plates.

 

Kind of a go with the flow of the rope solution.

 

Just an opinion of course.
