1. Compatibility with CHICANE
Compatibility between the first-generation ZIGZAG and the CHICANE has been verified in Petzl's internal testing. Follow the Instructions for Use for your ZIGZAG and for the CHICANE.
2. Compatibility with KNEE ASCENT
Warning: the first-generation ZIGZAG does not have an auxiliary attachment hole for connecting the KNEE ASCENT system, as on the ZIGZAG 2019 and ZIGZAG PLUS. By default, it is possible to attach the KNEE ASCENT to the connector between the ZIGZAG and CHICANE, taking care not to interfere with the proper functioning of the system. Follow the Instructions for Use for your ZIGZAG and for the KNEE ASCENT system.
