[atree]

Does any one use a 10mm lanyard?

 

Whats the pro's and cons?

 

Im think of getting one made with 10mm AP (Armor-Prus 10mm prusik line)

i use 10mm in a bag so can get more in and runs nice on cinch

did feel thin at first but seems ok

in uk all our stuff needs to be over 22kn so need to be carefull what we use

also i believe AP will not have any stretch so beware on a fall ect even a small one

and we are not supposed to use armour prus over here as no CE :thumbdown:mark:thumbdown:

i use 10mm on my cinch and its sweet as but think the armor prus goes a bit flat in the cinch.what gadget are you using on your lanyard adam.

im surprised someone has'nt got the AP certified for the uk yet bob ????

Yeah the thought of 10mm for lanyard seems a bit small,but would be ok for prunning jobs,Ross i use the isc micro grab

[Mark Bolam]

Go for it bro if the ISC grabs it sweet. BIG stopper knot though, and would give me the willies on a big TD!

 

This AP thing is insane about the CE approval etc.

 

I now know two climbers who have had their AP hitch cord LOLER approved.

 

I would knot go back to anything else!

Just checked and the isc micro grab only takes 10.5mm+,might have to invest in a cinch next then

So what rope do you guys use for your lanyard?

 

I use xtc+ 3m and blaze 5m(for large removals)now im thinkin spark?

I use mammut supersafe,i believe its 10.2mm. I have 10 metres of it stashed in a hip bag. I run it on a cinch and it runs really sweet. Got to admit it took a bit of gettin used to though.

10mm donaghys basic polyester rope. Its rated high enough and is cheaper to replace, my lanyard seems to get so dirty and pulled that I need to replace it quite often so for me its not worth spending a lot on one. I use an old 13mm blue streak lanyard for the bigger or sappier stuff. i use a VT on mine seems to be sweet.10 mm definateley nicer to climb with.

i used to have a 10mm op and loved it i ran it with a vt and a hc was a great rig i am thinking of changing to the 10.2mm mammut and ill put the vt set up on it. currently running a tachyon line but it just doesnt float me boat. nice choice on the rope though have you heard much about it. ive heard bits and the initial reports are good, just no hard review as yet.
