I know that some people have tried it but wondered If it worked out well.

Β 

We were at work chatting about it and it just got me thinking.

It would be an easy option if you already have a RW or ZZ.

I've tried it and I prefer rw ZZ combo to just a ZZ on DRT

Been a while since I demoed a ZZ but if I remember correctly you can't grab the tether to advance the whole system up (it just doesn't work) you have to grab the ZZ to advance the system, i.e ascending without a chest loop on. Nota. Big deal but struck me as different. Overall works well in my opinion,ImageUploadedByArbtalk1395820667.680407.jpg.1156ffda1f77388c54dc80f25393f596.jpg

Shouldn't the tether be connected to the top eye so the ZZ is aligned properly. It looks like it's under a lot of strain in that position

Maybe, I only tried it this way and it seem to work fine, I did look at where the links end up which are attached to the body when under load and it didn't look too bad.

( don't have the zigzag anymore otherwise would try it the other way :) )

Can understand your thinking though

If the bottom of the tether is connected to the ZZ with a U-shaped shackle and the shackle pin is though the ZZ and tether, the shackle U could be used as the chest clip point.

Brilliant!

That way everything would be neat and inline.

I'm pretty sure the ZZ is NOT rated for SRT.

Doesn't mean I wouldn't use it with a RW mind.

Shame as I thought they would have made something for srt use and ddrt.a bit of diversity. Do you think they won't because srt isn't fully recognised as a work positioning technique?
