Double lanyard anyone?

[bonner1040]

I used to use a Petzl shunt with a large piece of rope doubled over in it. It gives you two separately adjustable lanyards with one adjuster. I think a rock-exotica double grabber would work work better though. Eventually the uneven wear on the top cam from using the top side of the lanyard more caused it to start creeping.

A friend sent me this link the other day for the Sterling UP lanyard setup. It looks tidy and might be close to what you are looking for.

Check out page 22, I think this would work great for a 2nd lanyard without actually having to carry a 2nd lanyard.

Interesting. If you're pulling it up from the ground and going over a tight crotch, does it want to pull open?

The Velcro is very strong plus the design and formed shape of the leather seems to hold it together well. It works equally well when using it on the tail of my climbing line.
Just one more option when choosing between cambium savers. The leather is more difficult pulling into tight spots.

I have a 2:1 lanyard. If you find my YouTube page I highlight it there. I've even slicked it up some more with the shizll tenders. I'll try and post it when I'm at a computer

I used a 2:1 lanyard for a while similar to this but found it a pain. For one it takes two hands unless you put a tending pulley on it, then when you put a tending pulley on it it becomes very easy to make the FATAL error when you don't switch the pulley.
That Sterling Ultimate Positioning Lanyard looks good too but again with a 2:1, one side is left without tending. Note 3:55 in the video, it takes two hands.
I'm enjoying the CE Lanyard (30') for positioning and a secondary climbing line and a regular flipline lanyard with a tending pulley. Using the dog leash and pulley I get zero setback as opposed to this configuration where I do get setback even if you set a compact hitch like a michoacán or distel

P.S. I like two lanyards but the 2:1 concept is like the combination street/dirt motorcycle I had at one time, it was pretty good at both but not good for either.

Wow definitely some awesome solutions, that shunt is definitely unique, I'll have to do some experimenting. I like the treemagineers link too, I'll have to play with more of them this week! Today I was using one 8' lanyard for only side D rings and a longer one with beeline for a normal lanyard, that seemed to reduce some excess.

I have the trango cinch, and am noticing that while I'm in odd positions in relation to my climbing line, it is almost side loading, as if it would potentially break the lever or something.

Years ago, when I was to order all the gear for the crews, I would order 2 landyards for every climber trainee, my boss back then would question this and say why should I pay for 2 landyards for every guy? I replied, " you dont want anyone freeclimbing when in a tree learning and such right" he said how do you mean everyone else only uses one landyard. I said if they unclip to advance up and of course they dont have their climbing line tied to top yet, then when you unclip at that point you can fall, because you are not tied in. so use your other landyard to wrap above then unclip the bottom. also its another tool, i would keep one on each side, always do a visual of it cliping in, Visual I say not sound like others I have seen. Mostly I can maneuver in a tree nicely with one landyard as long as I am tied in high and such, someties double crotched in too. but on occasion that double landyard is used and I dont get confused at all! Pay attention dont rush and get comfortable. Positioning is everything!
