Lanyard snap attachment

[ClimbingTN]

When you have cramping/arthritis issues with your hands, a snap comes in handy. I would rather not use a carabiner. It’s time for a new lanyard and I have a couple nice snaps from retired lanyards. Are my options buy a new lanyard with installed snap or splice one on? IDK how to splice so either it’s time to learn or have a buddy do it. I have seen a few guys just double fishermen one on but, my luck it will get stuck in a crotch. I have some short lengths of 11.7 Samson 24 strand. How about some suggestions. Craig

Splicing is probably easier than you think it is, and there is a cool feeling I get knowing that I spliced that eye. Take comfort in the fact that as long as it meets certain minimum standards, it should hold more load than any knot you'd wanna use there.
