:lol:

Think I'm going to hold off buying one for a bit see what happens

Iv had a go on one for a day I think the zigzag is a good bit of kit and got a order in as soon as I used it

10-15 kn seems a bit low really when most the over climbing gear u buy is 25 kn

They might not have anymore problems with the ZZ but for now I think I'm going to cancel my order

And try and buy one at the end of the year once its bin really heavily field tested

A failure is not something I or any climber can afford to have

 

Stay safe and Safe climbing

Im talking about the swl divide by 10 to work out a safe working load on equipment ?.

 

100kg equals 0.98 kn :D

 

Right so if we're being precise and you need to be PRECISE.... The nominal average value at the earths surface is known as standard gravity, is by definition 9.80665m/s2 (squared). Although at the equator it's slightly lower at 9.78033m/s2 due the earths shape.

 

 

 

So to put this into context, your wrong the figure would be 0.980665 kn.

 

 

 

BOOM!!

 

 

 

By the time I managed to work that out, you've probably jumped up and done the job..
