And it doesn't self tend that well? Does it tend well if you guide the rope into the zig zag above

Got mine today it self tends like a dream with tachyon, very smooth ascending, a little jerky descending until I got used to it, it helps to wrap your fingers between the links while descending this seems to stop it jerking, great fun tho.

Yes, i think it probably would if you guide it towards the zigzag. I think footlocking or returning from a branch walk it would tend fine.

Used mine today for first time,as previously mentioned no sit back and self tends well,very pleased with it.A point to note though,i cut a smallish branch which was in between climbing line as the beech i was ascending was full of epicormic,it followed the rope right down to the ZZ and i dropped a foot or so,had a flip line in so no worries but could of been interesting had i not.Thanks for the courtesy call justin,i thought i'd better call back quick before they were all gone.:001_cool:

I think with the 'self tending issues', you have to pull the rope down in the direction of the ZZ, as i was pulling towards myself when i first used it and it just gathered above it. Now that i am mind full of this I've not had any problems with this issue. A great bit of kit still
