  1. one thing to bear in ,mind is that older ropes can become slightly fatter and miss shappen, and i have seen on a poison ivy rope that when it got wet, and left in the van overnight in freezing conditions it froze and expanded slightly, the lad thawed it out in the house and it returned to its normal size, just might be worth bearing in mind but i will be sticking to my yale xtc plus all day long!
  2. yes it works very well, i have this exact set up, not gonna lie it would be smoother on a smaller diameter rope but it is designed for a 11.5 mm - 13 mm rope so slap it on there and climb safe!!
  3. never used the spider jack but have recently purchased a zig zag! i am very impressed with it and think its a great bit of kit, can be used in a few configurations and its very safe and user friendly. definatly see why they are used the world over by many!
  4. static rigging = x2 heavier ( pulley above material to be rigged) Dynamic rigging = 14.2 times heavier (pulley below material to be rigged)
