Suggestions for lanyard setup?

Your side Ds are not designed to be loaded in the vertical plane.

 

And on the snap hook debate I would pass them under LOLER if they were working properly. Personally I dont like them.

 

Hi Pommie, i am aware that side Ds are not for vertical hanging off.Which is why i wanted to get rid of a rope grab in the first place.In my earlier posts i wrote i had experimented using a lanyard as a rope advancment on my central d ring on my bridge, not on my side Ds.

 

But that does raise the question...you still use your lanyard in the vertical to 'hold you in place and stop you swinging' Even when its above you on a higher branch? I know its not meant to be load bearing to take all your weight.Its a pendulum swing stopper and to make your work postion more secure.

 

 

think you misunderstood me mate.

So what 10mm lines do you guys run? Do you use friction cord like ocean poly or do you go down the rock climbing route? I currently use a cinch with blue moon and it works well but i just feel it would flow better with a slightly thinner rope?
