lanyard or flipline

[Steve Bullman]

 

One piece of advice I would proffer though is to keep your lanyard on the opposite side to where you keep your chainsaw and pruning saw (if you carry both together); that way when you lower your saw on the tool strop (on your harness) or replace your pruning saw, there's little chance of snagging the rope.

I spent 8 years with a wire core flip line and switched to a rope lanyard a few years ago. I love the versatility of a rope lanyard. Being able to have a custom length depending on what I am climbing. I have 3 different lengths ready to go. That and being able to release under load is a big difference which I wasn't able to do with my flip line.
