Grillion

[Paul Smith]

Just been given a Grillion with what to me seems like an incredibly short lanyard! Are they any good and what uses can you come up with?

[Beezy]

I quite like them, and have used for many years as a decent side strop or adjustable lanyard for work positioning. Personal preference I suppose

 

What length is the lanyard, could replace with longer if you wanted, 2,3,4 or 5 metres.

 

Cheers

They are a lanyard adjuster, usually supplied with the lanyard of varying lengths, so not much else you can do with really, other than use it a lanyard!

I've got one. Used to use it all the time , but I made a new lanyard with an ART positioner and I've never used it since . Good though ! Mine was 3 meters .

you can make up a different length, but iirc they work best on 11mm rope. 13 will work but not as smooth. I found mine great while the rope was clean and not gunked up, but once it got a bit of muck on it it struggled to run with ease. In the end I sold mine and changed to a hitch/micro pulley. also I found you couldn't use it with the grillon on the left side of your saddle.

Just buy a longer grillon rope,

I use mine as a lowerable base anchor from time to time

Gri Gri would be better for that though.

I have one in my kit bag,it's only a 2 metre length and I get it out from time to time. If it's a small tree and I don't want the hassle of dragging my life line and a tail of lanyard through crotches. To be honest I only have one because someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse so I bought it. Other wise I can easily do without it. V.t and pulley works far better IMO.
