ART positioner

[hatcher4]

Hi guys just wondering if anyone uses the art positioner as a secondary climbing line? Can you ascend on it on its own ? 

Currently using a zillion but want a rope longer that 5m for those branches higher than 2.5m up. 

 

Cheers

There’s no reason why you can’t use a longer lanyard with it.

It’s not ce marked unless you use the petzl rope

Springs wear out too quickly from my experience, better as a work positioner as it’s designed for.

Maybe im being thick but i dont understand what you mean here?

Is the positioner on your lanyard and your want a longer lanyard for better positioning?

Think the O.p is talking about using it as a climbing device on a secondary line, like I said because your using it with more loading the cam springs blow out a lot quicker than normal use .

Use a grillon.

You're better off having just a pinto and short hitch and a length of rope as a long lanyard or as a very short climbing line. Nothing else will really work as well IMO

Please just put your own rope through the zillon! For starters it’s [emoji817] % better with 11mm rope...

Think you’d be better with a lock jack, that said I have a lock jack and do not get on with it.
