    That's the first time I've seen anyone cross the lanyard with a ring. Pretty neat.

    i've accidentally put a good cut into two wire core lanyards. one i was unaware until i was on the ground. no doubt i would have taken a ride without the wire core.

    If a munter hitch is applied while attached to a lower side d to add friction to a hitch attached to the bridge it will pull a climber off center and load the side d of the munter which could lead to unergonimical discomfort.
  • Wire core is antiquated? This is simply one person's opinion, nothing more. Wire core lanyards have a place in tree care period. Use whatever you want, and don't think for one second that you can't cut through them, I have done it. And a hand saw will cut a tensioned rope in 7 teeth or less. Jim H.

  • I see all these healthy more bulk sized men climbing inspires me 👌
