My new lanyard.

[Joe Newton]

 So last week my snap hook properly gave up on me. The moving parts just went. It was getting on a bit. 

 

Since my lanyard was spliced to the snap it meant a new snap hook and rope. I was previously running 11.3mm Velocity through a positioned, but velocity wasnt available so I went with 10mm Sirius. 

 

Im expecting increased wear on the cam but other then that can't see a problem. 

 

Anyone else use thin rope with their positioner?

Does it grab ok?  I suspect you will notice it start to creep when the cam gets worn a little.  They all creep eventually, but in theory it should happen sooner with a 10mm rope.  Those cams are only meant for as low as 11mm arent they?

Considered a cinch?  Personally i hated mine but a lot of people seemed to like them

Yeah that's what I thought. Really rate the positioner though and don't intend to change it. If it becomes a problem ill but some 11mm line and splice it again. 

 

Pls I thought they discontinued the cinch?

It was given to me. I was going to buy some more then saw the price of it and decided that the length I had WAS fine!

Maybe they did, not seen or heard it mentioned anywhere in a while...not a bad thing!

It’s been replaced by a newer model I think I’ve read somewhere I can’t remember the name though.
