1st go with Zigzag.

[Woodcrafter]

Hi did you look at other devices as well ? I'm in the same boat always climbed on prussik and don't know which one to go for ?? But I'm not a regular climber few time a month so I've always stuck with what I know 🤔

 

 

I've had a quick go with a lock Jack I'm sure with patience and a few decent reccy climbs I'd have got used to it but for me with the brief go I had I didn't feel comfortable with it. I climb daily and have always been quite stuck in my ways and adopt the old if it ain't broke don't try and fix it attitude and stayed with the Prussik. After reading mixed reviews on the initial zigzags I steered clear although I was liking the look of it. Reading through recent threads it seemed that petzl had ironed out most of the issues and I bit the bullet and got one. As I said I got the blue tongue to go with it on the advice from on here. So glad I did they work brilliantly together I'm sure other ropes work just as well. I'm only a couple of climbs in with it but I don't think I'll look back.

You cannot go wrong with that combo....let us know how you find it through a pulley saver....i guarantee you will be amazed.

I will do mate. I honestly was fairly shocked at how easy it makes things tiny things like walking back in off a branch just pulling the line with one hand. I was like a kid in a sweet shop.

Not that climbing with a Prussik is particularly hard but hey anything that makes things easier nowadays is a blessing. Lol

To serve what purpose exactly?

Ive seen a revolver biner used at the t.i.p instead of a cambium saver with a pulley,same effect i would think,just interested if anyone had tried it.

ok, duh, I was thinking you meant as an attachment for the zigzag

Not quite sure but i think the rope guide is now 34 mm diameter . The revolver is too small
