Best self tailing setup for spiderjack

[arbaholic]

Evening all,

 

Looking to buy a new rope and harness to help my spiderjack self tend better, I'm interested to here anyone's setup who has it mastered. Ive narrowed my rope down to Samsung arbormaster or Yale blue tongue it's the harness side of things I'm not sure on. I climb with a kolibri harness at the moment and the spiderjack is always high up in front of me even after adjusting but I here it's better to have it lower so you are pulling the rope down and into it which makes sense.

Cheers.

Can you not add another krab and 20mm strop from your bridge to SJ so you are pulling underneath and through? It's how I use my ZZ, find it far comfier and easier to use in this set up. Think I posted a pic on here of the setup I'll try and find it.

He wants it lower so he can push the rope through the spiderjack from above.

Your talkin about pulling from underneath with the zigzag

I found it only self tended at around 30ft also make sure the tail of your rope is always is hanging free.

His problem is self tending pulling from underneath and through gets rid of that problem. That was my train of thought anyway. Also £20-£25 for and extra krab and strop to try that method beats £300ish + £150ish for a new harness and rope I'd be pissed if I bought a new harness and rope and it self tended no better haha.

I think the problem is because his bridge is sitting too high he was pulling it through from under rather than pushing it through from above as he wants it.

Ive used the same system on zigzag as your picture just using a prussik loop girth hitched onto bottom biner in zz allowing to be pulled from underneath.

I dont use it now as i made a haas for long ascents

Its good when the rope gets heavy enough allowing the rope to be pushed through from above aswell
