Zero-G Classic 8

Technical Details

I acquired this Zero-G Classic 8 from Cotswold Outdoor in 2007.

The Zero-G Classic 8 is forged from aluminum alloy and then polished. Mine is 132 mm. tall, 74 mm. wide, and 13 mm. thick. The rope hole is 48 mm. high and 48 mm. wide. The top center thickness is 11 mm. The shaft length and width are 44 mm. and 24 mm., respectively. The eye measures 18 mm. by 25 mm. My eight weighs 107 g.

The front of the shaft is etched with the Zero-G logo and "ZERO-G." The rear is etched with "kN 30." The top front of the upper loop is stamped "0606."

Comments

The Zero-G Classic 8 is a typical example of a "midi" size, forged, aluminum eight. It is essentially identical to the Advanced Base Camp Versions A and B, AustriAlpin, Camp Version B, Camp/Lowe Versions A and B, CT Ltd., Lucky Ecos Mini, Mammut Versions B and D, and the Salewa Midi. This eight will wear quickly because the polished soft anodizing provides little protection.
