Lanyards

Heres a pic with the twisted clevis installed. The rope isn't installed in the pic, but it gives you a good idea of what I mean.

thanks...i wondered about a clevis but it looked as though it would be too thick, perhaps i'll buy one and give it a go

My old D-ring set up. My current one uses a very short knut. Nice to not have an extra biner and pulley flopping about.

I used to strongly advocate the direct attachment of the lanyard to the D. Then I went back to standard carabiner attachment and found that I really like being able to occasionally move my lanyard onto the bridge on my harness.

Now I'm torn. I like the smooth adjustment of the direct tie, but I really like the versatility of the clip in method.

Personally, I think the versatility of a clip release lanyard wins hands down in daily working situations. Why? Because like you say Nick, the versatility.

Many times there are situations where the lanyard is a little high and unsuitable for side Ds, a temporary sitting position is required.

Other times, particulary side pruning conifers, the lanyeard can be choked and clipped single leg to the front D. This has the advantages of preventing the lanyard slipping down onto the saw, and a better position to fall into if you cut the lifeline. Choking on the bough you are cutting is better if that bough should split!

Just some thoughts to consider : )

i agree laz, i do all those things you just said. and often switch between wirecore and rope lanyards

This is how I attach my steel core lanyard. With the quickdraw sling through the eye of the macrograb it gives me enough room to slip a biner in there as well in the case that I want to attach my lanyard one of my front tie-ins on my saddle (buckingham versatile) without detaching the clevis from the side-D. It also always loads correctly and doesn't give a lot of slop.
