First Climb on Petzl Zigzag

Some clips from my first climb on a Petzl Zigzag. I was extremely impressed. I have been using a hitch climber system which is nice, but no where near as smooth and effortless as the Zigzag. The hitch climber was definitely good to learn beforehand, but I'm glad I have the Zigzag now.

At one point turning the video, I discovered that simply pulling the rope with your hands was the easiest way to use the Zigzag. Please excuse me if I seem to be hinting that I am strong because of it, which I am not, the Zigzag just makes it so easy, I was extremely happy and impressed that I could just go barehanded without the ascender from then on.

More videos to come. Thanks for watching!
