Any placement of pro can fail at any time, but usually due to user error. One need not add manufacturer error to the mix. In most cases no one piece of gear is critical, but that's not always true. Let's put it this way. If CCH made parachutes, would you still jump with them?


This is why I only use swiss seat, munter hitch belay, knotted webbing for pro, and climb barefoot. Less people in the seed to pro cycle=better safety. I guess free-solo masters have one up on me.

Just curious, has anyone fallen on a wildcountry zero?

Fell on the Z6(Red) and the Z4(Yellow) a few times. Relatively minor falls, 10ish feet, both held. The Z4 has kinda a kink in the head, but the action is still smooth. The Z6 is still in perfect condition after several whips.

18' pendulum onto poorly equalized gray and yellow.
They held.
