Lanyard problem

SALE - Protecta Rebel AD111A by Protecta - 11 ft. Web - $123.25 - PK Safety Supply

 

I wonder if they do one that you can lock at required length while cutting then unlock so it retracts while climbing

I am just going to get rid of my lanyard TBH and stick to two ends of my climbing line. I hardly ever use the damn annoying thin anyway.....although the distel/ micro pulley does have its place for sure.

i tend to climb with one end of my rope and a 10m strop , i may well get a large throwline bag to put on mu harnes to keep the spare line from my strop in while im climbing , but if im honest i could not be arsed with a retractable strop

Just tried a Moon Trad chalk bag, clipped with a small crab to the right/rear of my harness, behind the large caritool I high-clip my 200 onto.

 

Seems to work really well, but my lanyard is a scruffy old bit of 13mm Marlow, and is pretty stiff. I'm going to replace that with something 10mm and supple, which I think will be a nice neat set-up.

 

Any recommendations for 10mm line? John, which Beal are you on?

 

I'll post a pic tomorrow.

Moving into the modern ages? Whatever next, Spiderjack?

I just got some Blaze to try with my cinch as Ive been using Bluemoon, (shhh!) and of course it's not the right diameter although it works just fine, still going to retain the ISC two way snap though. I hear Blaze is a bitch to splice which is why I got some to see.

I found blaze pretty easy tbh. 5m blaze double ended spliced lanyard for me. Stopper knot getting stuck in a crotch.. No thanks.

Can I get away with 10mm and a 2-way snap without the tree climbing police busting my ass?

[High Scale]

10mm rope for strop is OK but the 2 way snap is NOT recommended.

 

Hypocritical? Yep.

No worries on the hypocrisy front mate, I've taken it to new heights myself!

 

Have the ISC 2-way on my wirecore, and wouldn't swap it. It's such a tidy little unit as well, which is what I'm going for with my new setup.

 

Fit for purpose all the way here.

 

Concerned whether 8mm AP (here we go again) will grip ok with 10mm Beal or similar, or if I'm going to have to splash out for a Cinch (as Ross pointed out).
