RW and Zigzag


Recommended Posts

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.ImageUploadedByArbtalk1467830724.723458.jpg.26c792a7a9535b585557c29f1c98ab88.jpg

 

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

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?
