A great addition to the climbing gear you might have. An absolute necessity on SRT climbing but I'll even use it on DRT descents. It makes the descent on DRT real smooth and controlled. I liked it so much I got 2 of them, along with other gear, in order to get my kids climbing.

I climb SRT, so Petzel recommends using this in conjunction with the zigzag. The total setup with chicane and zigzag was about $440, which is a little pricey, but I’ve never felt so safe ascending and descending. It’s worth the investment in my opinion. The chicane is mid-line attachable, which is a plus.
