Zigzag SRT tether setup

[stewmo]

Has a go with zigzag srt for the first time on Friday and thought it was great.

 

How are people attaching rope wrench with a stiff tether to zigzag?

 

I was using a carabiner and it seemed fine but when ascending it would rotate round and the tether then started to slide up the carabiner towards the gate which can’t be good in my book.

 

Wondering if I should use a shackle or a singing tree quickie which I don’t think would do this.

 

Any thoughts?

Thanks

This was my set up mate.

I don’t know how the pizza got in there, mind.

The system works ok without it.

That shackle looks spot on Mark thanks

 

Agree the pizza seems superfluous haha

Can you remember what size shackle that is? M8 maybe a bit big but M6s seem to not be wise enough?

Cheers

Tight fit.

Is that a normal zigzag Mark or the newer one?
