RW and Zigzag

[Mark Bolam]

I've never used a ZZ, but had a go with it today single line with my RW (it was my mates ZZ).

Yes, I know it's not recommended ( I think this is probably Petzl v ISC politics more than anything ), but I haven't a clue how to configure it properly.

This seemed to work fine, although the RW could sit on top of the ZZ in neutral on ascent.

Very smooth up and down though, with no sitback.

Any comments/improvements/you'll die immediately slagging welcome.

 

I only used the top attachment point of the ZZ for my HAAS and chest clip.

Look forward to the outcome Mark. I was thinking about trying it with mine today. wasn't particularly enjoying using a vt SRT

Yo!

Early feedback positive then!

You could put the bottom of the tether on the top of the zz using a small d shackle so you'd still have a attachment point?

So is it true this srt thing is catching on...

I don't have a ZZ so can't be of much help but remember, the RW is not rated as PPE. The acceptance of its use is based on the fact that a hitch will consistently and safely support a climbers weight by itself on a single line. Can the ZZ do this without over extending the links at a load that could cause it to fail?

Are you calling me fat?
