The Art of Zig Zag

[oakleaf50]

I would not say it would be advisable to use as a work system. Ascender and the prussic don't have the capabilities of a rope straight to anchor. Less parts less to go wrong.

I would like to see a drop test with a zig zag SRT without any added friction, maybe we can have a whip around for a zz,and see if Dan and ian would do the honours of testing it for us as they have experience of doing it with the rw etc.

Be careful trying stuff like that. Remember it's also possible to release a hitch on a single line but what happens after that can vary. The zz isn't designed to work srt, and you could have issues with it biting.

 

Stay safe mate:thumbup:

I've just read the PDF from petzl, have you seen it. It shows descending SRT but with the tail through a Munter hitch/ krab off your side D for the extra friction.

Just ordered mine so will be trying soon hopefully.

Lol boys I'm fully aware that its not meant to be used srt alone but I was experimenting with it to see what it is like, it grabs fine and releases easily but it's hard to control a smooth descent!
