Lanyard set up

[WorcsWuss]

Just made up a first 'proper' lanyard for my 6 year old son....

 

4m of Silverstreak, 8mm Marlow db, screw gate gecko, petzl oscillante and a bent gate gecko. Cheap and cheerful but better than the old cord and long prusik he has been using, and no fiddly locking gate on the end he needs to move.... Bent gate has a retention rubber on it as well to make sure he doesn't lose the krab hopefully the weather will be good enough for him to try it this weekend.... He's still a fair weather climber!

I remember back to when you had asked about suitable harnesses. What did you end up getting for him?

Justin sorted me out with a Petzl Aspir. Nice little harness. He's used it in trees and at a climbing wall and he says it's comfy.... Decent quality too as you'd expect....

Good for him, good for you!

Just got to toughen him up now without turning him off!

I watched in utter disbelief as a bloke use his brand new imori rope to pull a chipper out of a tight spot! The rope was butchered except for the spliced end which had been tucked away so i salvaged it and it is now what i call my "Sports strop" i love it.. Simple and visible

 

Oi You nicked the end of my rope!

Two new set-ups. 3m ART positioner and 5m CE lanyard.

Lovely set up Matthew

 

Just curious how come you have two set ups? I thought tree surgeons only needed a wire core flip line.

How many wraps of your prussik are you lot using on your side strop?

[broadsword]

I use 8 meters of mammut dynaflex with a cinch and a 6mm prussik for single line use.

My current set up is 5m of 10mm spectra speed running through a cinch with black diamond magnetron karabiners and an ocean vectran thimble loop, love it works really well for me.
