Soo... I had an idea. What do you think?

Okay so playing around in the shop with some things. Petzl Adjust lanyard ( rope access, tower guy lanyard) gonna try it in tree. But!!! Just geeking it up I thought hmm I wonder... And stuck my wrench on it.
Warning just concept, didn’t actually climb it. Seems like it has possibilities.
I really like the lanyard adjuster! Light, simple and actually works really well.

You would try this as a climbing system and not a lanyard? How would you ascend?

I’m definitely using as lanyard. I’m surprised I haven’t seen it used in Arb settings yet. I put the wrench on there just playing around. It releases smoother in single leg with the wrench. Without it, it’s kinda “on/off” jerky in single leg. As regular lanyard it works great.

That's an expensive replacement for bulk hitch cord. That, and not meant for the purpose, opening liability, are probably why you don't see tree guys using tower gear.

The lanyard adjuster with 5meters of rope was under 100 bucks so, not too pricey.
I dunno, maybe because they have the zillion specific to Arb from petzl? I wouldn’t be surprised if it crosses over and gets Z133’d.

yeah, the rope wrench on there was a silly “what if”?
