5m Yale xtc strop with split tale end and one end and pulley with distel hitch on other...

 

(just taken them by the way )

surely you could loose about 4 inches of "drop" by pulling the distel closer to the pulley, by re tying your fishermans and snipping off excess. Make a much neater set-up.

Should be fairly self explanatory.:001_smile:I generally have it attached with the krab on my right side d, and anothe krab on the end for positioning, even spiking.

 

I dont want to alarm you but there isnt a Karabiner on the end of your lanyard. Just make sure you attach one before you climb next.

I think i have just realised where i have been going wrong all these years. I could never actually work out how to use the damn thing, so just had it hanging on my harness to look good. Thats why its so clean...Thanks Frank.
