New Zigzag, pics and info.

[mad matty]

Mines just arrived today, just waiting for my new rope

[coleman]

I have done 2x 10 m ash reductions and one 6m apple reduction with the zigzag. In the first pic the top bit of rope is below the 20 m mark and represents what my rope looked like before the zz ( I know the spliced end gets more use but it wasn't far off) and the lower bit shows the wear im experiencing. A lot of wear from not a lot of use.

Interesting, how do you find it compares to the spider jack mr Coleman? Got mine today but haven't had a play yet

I was discussing this today saying that it did my rope in very quickly (ZZ1) I'm on a Hitch Climber now, had it for a year and the ropes are perfect.

 

And on that basis...I'm out 8)

 

Would be interested to hear about the Spider jack

I find the spiderjack with velocity and ropeguide a hell of a lot smoother and the zigzag is no way near as good at self tending. I can see why people prefer the zz as its more natural and similar to a hitch. But so far the sj rules, for me anyway. But its early days as ive only had the zz less than a week.

Hi iv just got hold of my new ZZ, I was hoping to run my double end spliced yale xtc-honey bee rope (its 12mm I believe) however because of the splice eyes I can't get it through the ZZ, has anyone else had this problem ?? Need a solution, don't really fancy getting a new rope just yet

 

Cheers

Gonna have to cut one of ya splices off.

Coleman, yeah cheers that's my next step. Anyone using 12mm with the ZZ ??

I second that the spiderjack with ropeguide is awesome very little rope ware. Not sure what the self tending of the zz 2 is like but the spiderjack is far superior to the 1

anybody? drew, barry skyland, etc know if you can use the zillon lanyard srt like i do with my pinto/distel. was thinking bout a positioner or cinch too, srt?. opinions please

the distel tends to bind up as mini srt, would the zillon slip slowly? or lock harder?

cheers
