Got a question for all you zz users.....when using mine today on a body thrust back up to of tree as it was a relatively short distance It was noted by some kind younger chap that I was only pulling the tail to move the zz up the rope he seemed to think this was bad???? and promptly to me I should pull above the zz and adjust slack after with tail... am I really doing a bad thing??? It seemed quicker and easier Cheers Matty:thumbup1:

Hi all, Since belonging to Arbtalk and reading alot of posts on climbing I have updated my equipment to try and keep current as an old set in his ways climber can.....ie 18 years climbing prussik and blakes 1 year hitch climber 2 weeks ziz-zag My question is with this new style rope ie 11.7mm should I use a cambium saver to prevent wear on my rope. If so what the best and best set-up. p.s. Before the flak starts when I was taught to climb they never existed. Cheers Matty

What about trying to get hold of a copy of a nptc chainsaw course manual.....will have a dig around in the loft during the week see if I can find one, No promise's. Ideally taking a course or learning from a skilled user is the best way. Cheers Matty:thumbup1:
