Very interested to see the sj vids as I'm going to be starting srt with the Zk 2 very soon and was planning to run a sj on the longer rope and normal hitch climber on a short rope.....what is the reccamendation on the best hitch to use with the wr ?

We didn't drop a SJ in the end, couldn't find one to be donated. We did however drop the LJ with interesting results.

There should be a follow up vid to this one in the pipeline, filmed from the ground, showing more of the type of impact or deceleration of the drops.

 

Hitch wise, that's a massive can of worms, have you read the http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/climbers-talk/36682-rope-wrench-feedback.html thread?

Iv read a fair bit of it, having seen the vids previously in the post I won't be going with the four wrap vt, but iv only ever used a vt but it be interesting to try something new, as with the sj I'm sure the Lj prob be very similar results
