Let's talk lanyards

[Richard Mumford-yoyoman]

I posted a video about lanyard use after some discussions at a climbing competition. (Legion of the Geezers)
Just some things to consider when choosing a lanyard for use in TREE climbing.

5 minutes in, I’m laughing at the fact your face is behind a branch.
I‘ll watch the rest later.

Haven’t had a chance yet to watch but I’ve been really liking a hitchhiker pulley and a VT to have a small climbing set up.

I use the petzl rescue pulley with my hhxf if I want a pulley.
It's heavy but fits perfectly and you you want to switch to drt you can fit the termination carabiner in the pulley and it tends exactly like the hitchclimber pulley

I have a HHFX incoming and would love to see a pic of this setup.

I never had any other hh before but I think I'd honestly rather have the hh2 that ropetek still makes bc of the carabiner being so much faster to connect and disconnect the system, which is part of why I use that puller bc is 36 kn and petzl says u can use up to 3 carabiners on that pulley.
The hitch climber pulley is also rated for 36kn and is obviously ment for the 3 carabiner.
I should add that it's easier to use smaller carabiners such as the petzl spirit. But I have fit full sized normal caribiners in there too.
I'll get a pic up here asap forbya eric
