Prussik, pulley - Lanyard. On the right track?

[diervek]

So my CS38 is in just over a week and I've just taking delivery of my gear so obviously decided to a play.

 

I know I'll learn in the course, have to tie and retie everything , and potentially do away with the pulley, but after some searching I've not really cleared whether I'm right with this because there are so many guides, videos and images that vary slightly. It all seems good from what I can tell, I'm just getting over excited

looks like an english prussik you have tied so you dont need the pulley.

 

also looks like the pole belt isnt running through the pulley anyway so its not doing anything?

[chrism3513]

and the biner isnt clipped into the D ring on your harness, might be a good place to start!

The pulley's for one handed operation, without it I would need to pull the slack with one hand and slide the prussik with the other.... or have I missed something

 

I realised the lanyard was running the wrong side of the pulley, oops I knew something was amiss.

that's just hidden by the fisherman's tail - I hope I wouldn't be that daft...

I prefer a eye to eye hitch cord on my lanyard rather than tying knots which i find are too bulky,buts its no major thing just my personal preference.

Try a distel or swabish hitch on your lanyard,i find those work well with a pulley to advance

agreed....the distel works well on a lanyard (though i am not sure you can use for cs38?)

perhaps for the test just follow the book then ditch the prussik and use a distel - a good way to get used to the knot and then use on your main line with a hitch climber

Why wouldn't you be able to use it on your 38

I think i was taught the swabish for lanyards on my cs38,im not 100% sure though

[diervek]

What length eye to eye should I be looking at for a distel or swabish?

[stihlmadasever]

I think ive got a 75cm ocean polyester teufelberger on my secondary right now.Im using a dmm pinto pulley to advance the hitch.

I dont like my eye to eyes too long but again its a personal thing.

You may have to play around with different lengths and cord types to see whats best for you.
