Will a Lockjack work on SRT?

[Ian Flatters]

Well Dan Curtis and myself did some drop tests on the RW/LJ setup.

 

Thanks to Adam Bourne off here for supplying the Lockjack.

 

No damage to either that would stop them from being used again.

Interesting findings then ian, i wonder how the spiderjack would react different? Good to see these tests though especially regarding cam damage to the ropes

[Adam Bourne]

Nice one lads great stuff, really though something would of give especially on the drop test! You always here people saying "yeah you'll take one fall on a lockjack and it will cut the rope in half" ??? There you go sound as a pound,

 

And it was my pleasure for the donation it has done and served its last ever deed! And to a good cause

from these tests id say the only thing that the SJ wound be risky on is a tether sever but from what ive seen the RW acts as a decelerator allowing the lj to bite.

so the conclusion? the lj is ok to climb on unless your a complete muppet who climbs miles above their anchor point

[Dan Curtis]

Yes. On srt with a rw of course:thumbup:

great thats all i need to hear, would have been interesting to do the same tests with a stiff tether. now lets just hope it gets allowed for comps
