I am a new climber and after using the normal prussik for a while I upgraded, (by quite a bit), to the Petzl Zig Zag. I use the ZZ with 13mm rope but everyone is saying that 11.7mm is absolutely perfect for it. It is a really simple device to use and I would recommend it it all climbers whether they have a lot of experience or are just starting in the business. It's a thumbs up for the ZZ from me. If you don't want to spend the money on the ZZ straight away then I would invest in a Hitch Climber set up. It is basically a rope and pulley version of the ZZ but at a much lower price. And I believe that it works the same on any diametre of rope.

Yeh everyone seems to be raving over it so I thought why don't I just learn and build up on my experience from word go with it

yeh gained my 38 with 39 & 40 February. i did indeed with 16 strand 13mm

still looking for work so whilst i have money spare wanted to grab myself some kit and have a play around out the back basically. and when works comes up i will feel alot more comfortable and have the gear to offer along with myself

the climbing is new to me so i don't have my own preference, I've been sitting quietly listening to you all talk zig zag what size rope to use etc... the money isn't my biggest worry its the experience so i don't mind spending a little more giving me the advantage to mix it up and try a few things in the long run

Looking to get my own rope. wanted a little advice on quality over price really see if im on the right track

looking more in the direction of 24 strand ........ New England Tachyon, colour is very vibrant but the price is up there

Less of the sarcasm!

My minutes renew tomorrow and I'm not going to be walking off track either to make a call at the moment until my shift is over, so I was only expressing my interest,

so guy's when it comes to work over in Canada or California would you say the pay is decent in comparison to what you'd receive over here to regards of living cost..

One of the lads from by me is over there met a bird in Thailand( she's a US chick not a thai thing lol) but he said he could help me out with visa etc but im looking at getting a stack of money behind and experience before i make a move like that for good.

You've got a pm.

I did a while back, maybe busy with work

Hi alright fella, I'm a PTS climber looking for work based in Cardiff.. what is the situation with work how much do you have on offer, Accomadation/travel expenses?

Hi guys, Short & sweet

Thats ok then i have basic cscs, need to apply for card hopefully its still in date

When an arb/climbing job is posted requiring cscs, are they after just plain cscs operative which allows you entry on to site or because of the climbing aspect down to site H&S do they want a working at height cscs

Sounds like a stupid question but I am thinking that with the climbing you have the h&s of working at height covered its just gaining entry to site?

Over and out

Hi guys,

Right i can see how the new change works and corresponds with the old CS

will the new structure of the award given by City & guilds for all related chainsaw Qualifications have any affect apart from the appearance from it being cs.. to a,b,c,d........

Me and my colleague just want to clear up any doubts that we have on the new qualification whether it will affect us in anyway shape or form come the future, I can't see anything apart from how it would appear.

regarding work oversea's and do they know of changes etc etc

no need to hold off with anymore training until march ??

will City & guilds update previous qualifications so they co inside with the new structure if there is not any difference apart from appearance and that you have the relevant cs so for example if i had cs 30 & 31 could i have my award on my proficiency card updated to C & D so its upto date.

More results than google cheers guys

Cheers for reply

will give them go, Arbocraft - £800 seems steep but they do 38,39 & 40 for £1350 i'll take a look into that one
