Zigzag or spider jack

[treeratclimber]

I'm after some help lads

I'm looking at the zigzag and spider and I'm not sure on which one I've been climbing on the VT for 4 years which is why I've been thinking of Zigzag

 

Cheers lads

I'm using a spiderjack, not sure how I got by without it, makes climbing so much easier. Can't answer for the zigzag though. My gut feeling was both are good bits of kit, if you haven't used either it probably doesn't make a massive difference which one you go for. Personally I went for the SJ because I could control the friction. Didn't really have much of a go on the ZZ.

 

I can't imagine you'd be disappointed either way tbh😀

Spiderjack with dynema sling thing with 11mm yale inferno and ropeguide.took me a good two weeks to get used to it tho but cant beat the reliability and the one handed slack tending and since ive been climbing with it I had no aces or pains but I still swap it for my hc on big dismantles once ive turned it into a stick.

Im using it on yale blue tongue 12mm (I think) with a cambium saver and its smooth as silk! So easy to use and descending is effortless.
