Has anyone had a chance to demo a Petzl zigzag?

The killer for me is that it is not mid-line attachable. Without that, it is a no go, otherwise great idea. I wish Unicender would put a tending pulley on the lower handle.

I think some of the Rock Exotica stuff has a swivel feature on the side plate of the pulley to allow the rope to be attached mid-line. Maybe that would work on the zig zag?

The climb line must be fed into the links to make it work.
