lightest, thinnest lanyard setup please

[James Atkinson]

looking through threads trying to find out what the minimum diamiter rope i can get away with on my lanyard, using xtc rope with pulley wheel setup atm, waht do you lads recon is the lightest option thinking off a 10mm rope with a 8mm prussic or even a mechanical device, want to be able to use it as a second little climbing rope like a prussic if that makes sense, trying to get the lightest setup possible out there

thanks

If your using it as a second lifeline you have to ask yourself what minimum diameter would you use as your main line?

[combined tree services]

Bailer twine and a couple safety pins lol !

Now being serious i currently use Yale Imori and a Lock Jack positioner

good point, mayby 11mm would be better but what do you think wouldbe the best rope for the job?

i'm using 10mm ocean p with rope grab as a strop but if you want it as a secondary climbing/lanyard then i would say 11.5mm tachyon has to be one of the lightest ropes with 8/10mm ocean p as the friction device.

10 mm min diameter for climbing lines and lanyards, as recommended by the AA guide to good climbing practice.

 

I use liros 10mm with a cinch, as you can choke the end off and use it set srt style.

wanted to change to a cinch, what they like mate...

Love my Cinch Most excellent really light and easy to use .

Not as good as a hitch on 11mm plus line.

 

However I have yet to find a hitch that works well on 10mm line, in both doubled and single line applications.

 

So at the moment, its the best there is.
