Hey guys,

I’m currently looking to switch from DdRT/MRS on a Petzl ZigZag to mainly SRT/SRS climbing and I’m stuck between the Akimbo 2 and the Notch Rope Runner Vertec as my new main device.

My work is mostly professional tree care/arborist work.

I’m looking for a device that works well as a true everyday main device.

From people who have actually used both: Which one did you end up preferring and why? Which one feels better over long work days? Any issues with rope sensitivity, wet/dirty ropes, tuning etc.? Would you choose something completely different instead (Blackbird, ZigZag Chicane, ISC Reflex etc.)?

Would really appreciate honest long-term opinions before I pull the trigger on one.

Thanks!
