Lanyard Config

[Ross Smith]

Is any1 using a prusik knot with a pulley for a lanyard,if so has any1 got any pics floating about.just changing over from petzl rope grab and interested to see what every1 else is using.cheers

Not a prusik but it is what I use. I find hitch adjusters with a pulley to be much superior to mechanicals for this useage.

Trango Cinch, 10mm liros line.

The rope grab is useless as a lanyard adjuster. Friction hitch with tender pulley is much better.

 

Only reason I'm on a mechanical is so I can use it choked, in a single line application. Cant really do that with a hitch.

I have 3 lanyards- 2 rope; ones with the cinch like peters and a ART positioner on the other. Plus a wire core with a vt. If your keeping it simple and cheap then it's the VT all the way

I use a scwabish on my lanyard. Dont find any problems with using it choked in the single line application.

I had a try for a while on a Petzl Grillon ,but much prefer a hitch and pully ,i just feel more in control when letting it off while lying back . But i think it's probably like a Lockjack ,you just have to get a feel for it.

I have used all manor of tricks and found the petzl grillon to be spot on to some one who cant use it correct it will seam uncontrolled when released it just takes practice.

 

Its lighter to imo.
