Thinking of a zigzag

Just looked at the petzl website and says it has a 3 year guarantee. Do you think that's a reasonable time they last? Tempted to get one but not if will wear out every 6 months?

I've never understood people obsessively cleaning their climbing kit.

 

Someone on FB posted instructions on how to clean and maintain their Hitchclimber.

 

I could barely hold back my disdain.

 

Actually, I didn't.

1st time I have ever cleaned it purely because it really was full of sh*t and slime, hardly obsessive. I ask about oil as I am not sure if they need it or not as it is a lot of metal on metal. Look after your kit and it will look after you and save you some hard earned in the long run.

Never wash ropes etc, like the man said bit of WD in the krabs oftimes if they're sticky.
