Lanyard rope on Cinch or ART positioner?

[charlie]

What are you guys using as your lanyard rope with the Cinch or ART Positioner? I was using 9mm Beal on the Cinch but found it was slipping! Thinking of changing to the ART positioner?!

Art all the way for me. Had a cinch and just didn't get in with it at all

Positioner is the dogs bollocks.We had a thread on it just a while back.

Can you still get the cinch? I thought that was not made anymore

I have both but the ART with the swivel is the best by a long way

On my third trango cinch now. Great for single line useage. Am I right in saying that the positioner can't be weighted eintirely with climbers weight and used in a single leg? I've never used one but read this on a review a while back. I use Mammut dyna safe 11mm rope with the Cinch. Can't fault it at all.

I remember reading somewhere the art positioner can be used in single line applications.Dunno if thats as primary life support though.

art positioner is a revelation: superb piece of kit i use two on 5m lanyards and a zig zag

Do you never have issues with it slipping? Once the clutch is worn mine creeps slowly on 11.7mm, I would have thought this would happen a lot sooner using a 10mm line.

Not had any slipping issues with 11.0mm line. Can't really see how the can would wear considering the small use it gets.

 

It might be that firmer ropes slip as the can doesn't bite down as hard as on softer lines. For instance tachyon is very firm due to its 2 cores, and the cam might not "squash" the rope as much as the velocity I use, which is quite supple and "squashable" by comparison.
