wirecore lanyard question

[KingoftheRing]

Shocking read! It has always been in my mind, but for some reason, was never discussed much when I worked. Glad I read the thread.

There was a thread on it a while ago but it was not cried the ' squeeze circle ' it was cried ' the circle of death ' .

 

! Lower rings from now on then, thanks for that post.

I'll have a read.

 

Makes sense, does that mean spiking up you climb on the front attachments and if so whats it like on bridges where it can move i.e tree motion or tree magic. Or carry a spair lanyard and change around when ready?

It will only 'barber chair' when you are putting the cuts in so it is at this point that you would want to be attached by the front attachments, if your simply just spiking up or down use the side Ds as normal.

For balance I sometimes clip one end of the strop into one side D and the other to the front so I have a bit more stability and stay out of the 'Circle'.

Some years ago I almost became part of the circumference on a big crack willow and the big sharp saw I was using combined with a lot of trigger saved me. Makes me think every time I start on stems.

That will still make you part of the "circle of death". If you want to avoid it, you need to tie in to ONE POINT on your harness.
