Smooth, sturdy, reliable and I put my life in the hands of the zig zag, Petzl rope and the friction saver I use. I fully recommend. Review: Best DRT device available in my opnion - I’m a new climber and I love the zigzag! Easy to use (for me that saying something as I only have 1 hand (ied in Iraq). It’s small, robust, extremely smooth and with the chicane does DRT and srt. It excels in DRT, which is my preference whenever possible. I’ve used it srt, but prefer to use an srt specific device if available. I run mine on 11.8mm adrenaline and it runs great! Not being mid line attachable isn’t as convenient but it’s dang near bomb proof!
