Petzl CHICANE Auxiliary Brake

Allows ZIGZAG and ZIGZAG PLUS mechanical Prusiks to be used on single ropes:

• continuous additional braking action, thanks to the added friction of the two friction pins
• used with an Am’D or OK connector (not included). The H-shaped cross-section of the connector, together with the positioning ring of the mechanical Prusik, make the CHICANE and mechanical Prusik a compatible unit that ensures smooth rope glide through the brake during ascents
• ergonomic handle facilitates movement while limb walking

Easy installation:

• openable side plate for quick and easy installation on the rope
• triple action unlocking limits rick of accidentally opening the side plate
• connects on the upper hole of the mechanical Prusik

Optimized durability, thanks to the two friction pins, available as spare parts
