Hitch Climber or ZigZag? Personal Opinions

[TTownsend]

Update:

Just brought a Zigzag with the Yale blue tongue. Had a little play yesterday and my first impressions are really good, love so smooth it feels and I'm happy at the moment I've chosen it over the hitch.

Thanks for all you're opioins.

Been on a HC for a while but just bought a Zigzag, arrives tomorrow and can't wait to have a play. Climbing on 12.5mm at the moment so not sure if I'll have to change to a 11.7mm

Loving my Zig Zag

I've been on a HC since forever and have just placed an order for a Zig-Zag. I don't know how to feel about it at the moment... apprehensive?

 

 

You'll love it. Very similar characteristics.

I went from Blakes to Prussic to HC to zigzag. Did think of going to a spiderjack but didn't fancy having the on/off lever in a work situation.

I dont know why some people feel they have to chose between hitch climber or zigzag,both are now affordable so why not have both and switch between the two depending on your needs on the particular climb

I'm not choosing between the two, just upgrading to a Zigzag. I'll still have my hitch climber in the bag for when the situation dictates or if I fancy a change...!

In that case enjoy the zigzag,combined with a cambium saver or pulley and 11.7mm rope its fantastic.

Only thing id say is im not confident using the zigzag as a waiste anchor when chogging down stems,lateral loading can help stress fracture the links.
