Trango Cinch

If a cinch isn't for for purpose, is some old 8mm poly cord tied as a hitch?? fFS

 

its hard to judge the size of it from the pics but if it was small enough id give it a go.

 

Have u laid your hands on one yet mate?.

Yes I've got a d4- it's 100% not a lanyard adjuster!!

The D4 is bigger than the rig and heavier. First impressions is a bomb proof base anchor...

I'm bummed to hear that the Cinch is out of production. Maybe I should buy another one now while they are still available. I love it for a lanyard adjuster, mainly because of how well it works with 10mm line, and because it's the only lanyard adjuster I know of that works equally well DdRT and SRT.

deemed 'not fit for purpose' by who? and for what purpose? I know they are not a descender but rather a belay device and as a lanyard adjuster they are awesome and cheap compared to a positioner.

i think Ross maybe got his wires crossed!!!!

i was going to get a lanyard cinch system, what is next best thing for lanyard to be used drt and srt?

I cannot see why a cinch is not fit for purpose either, I had heard some had problems with the reliability of the pivot rivet, but cannot confirm or link to any proof just hear say and rumour like everything.

And Drew a hitch is very suitable and has been tested as such thanks to the people behind the CE lanyard and CE climb.

 

I wore my cinch out in 3 years use, it's a great bit of kit, but have since gone back to a hitch and forgotten how much I like it and how much more versatile it is.

This one looks interesting, from the maker of the Unicender:

A hitch really is the classic for a lanyard adjuster and I find to actually be more reliable than the Cinch. However, the Cinch has the option to be used SRT which opens up another world of positioning options.

 

Anyone know of any other lanyard adjuster that can be used SRT?
