Another zigzag bites the dust!!!!

Your right,no questions asked,but really how many climbers do this every day-in truth probably very few

 

It only takes moments to check what you are going to be using and its a habit well worth getting in to, particularly if you are an employee.

 

When people start asking about inspection intervals its often because something went wrong and that's not the time to be wondering if all the "I"'s are dotted.

Very true,its a habit fr me to leave my zigzag attached on to my rope as its not midline attachable.So to properly inspect the device it will have to be fully removed.A pain in the arse but a nessesity now ive read this post!

Ropes,harnesses and hitch cords are easier to inspect,and we do this daily anyway

Always check my Mk 2 ZZ before I climb and after reading all these posts I find myself constantly monitoring it during the climb as well.

Mines had some right stick and it's held up fine so far.

Hope the mk3 is the same

My Zigzag, bought from Buxtons (I think) at the apf in 2014 has cracked...do I bin it or can it be repaired? This has had only occasional use as I am not a full time climber.

Take it back and they will replace it

Thank you, do I need to take it to who I bought it from or just a petzl stockist?

[TIMON]

Any Petzl stockist “should” change it to a mk 3 Zigzag for you. I haven’t heard of or seen any Mk 3’s cracking so far.

[HuntingHicap]

Thanks for the replies guys.

Shout out to Petzl UK! Local distributor wasn't interested in taking it as I hadn't bought it from them, Petzl UK asked me to post direct to them and sent me a replacement in 5 working days
