Tree Climbing Lanyard: Basic Setup 

I personally consider some sort of stopper knot on the other end of the lanyard a requirement..........when I climbed, I used a 30ft lanyard and came to the end often.

As a rock climber experimenting with the vt, the pulley seems like a great idea. I like the ability to throw a vt on a loaded rope but getting friction down makes the knot unreliable atleast in 7mm cordalette. The pulley atleast adds a knot block if you were smart enough to add one.

That is so good concise info, to the point, simply the basics. Thank you.

Was putting together Flip line , for some crazy reason , I was drawing a blank.. so I looked up your video , thanks Patrick ! for all of your hard work over the years and helping us all , be better climbers. With knowledge that we all share whether in person or on RU-vid appreciate it.

Thanks Patrick. Definitely got some value out of this video. Much appreciated...

Well done, Patrick! I use a 25' lanyard for my system for the same reason you mentioned. Rope management tends to be trickier, but the benefit outweighs the nuisance. Thanks for the effort you put into making this video!

Thanks for the video. Created my lanyard for recreational climbing based on this. Since then replacing the pulley and prusik knot with Xinda lanyard adjuster, similar little device like Petzl adjust connect with removable pin to replace the standard rope easily. The downside is the lanyard adjuster only works smoothly with 9 - 10.5mm diameter ropes.

Really good, simple video, Patrick. And the annotations add a lot and make it very compact. Very helpful, even if only for reinforcement of basic concepts for someone who doesn't climb every day (actually its been a while now .... also very classy ending! ... taking it all apart again :) (as others have noted I know you meant to mention/show a stopper knot in the end :)

very cool man!..I love making lanyards!

thank you for teaching us😊

I would greatly appreciate a video on how you manage all the slack on that long lanyard. I get tired of stuffing it back into my pouch and daisy chaining it tends to unravel on me.

Thank you for the time, teaching techniques

Thanks! Now I use it.

I love this channel. I learn so much. My inglish is horrible, sorry. Thanks for sharing and grettings for Argentina!!

There’s no need to spend gobs of money if yer getting going or a seasoned pro, nice work Patrick 👍👍

I keep my hitch/ adjustment side on my left also,even though I'm right handed.

Thanks Patrick, I enjoy your videos. I have a quick question. For years I have been old school climbing with just a single lanyard. I know I should use a secondary lanyard with a choke end. Any recommendations for a set up?

Forgot the stopper knot on the other end...

Great video! Can you use really any heat resistent cord or does it has to be sth like a heat resistent climbing rope or what exactly can be used?

🤘

Lanyards are like women's purses. Everybody has more than one, specialized for the situation. Who knew?

Let's talk about tying a Vt... after the 4 wraps, you go under with the lead leg.. I go over

I got a couple different set ups I use it’s hard to choose at first so many set up

How long do you recommend for the length of the Vt prussik?

I've been using a fall protection lanyard off a harness but it was only 7 ft. I tied knots in it if my tree was skinny. I don't see the purpose of 20 ft lanyard? Maybe I don't understand how that works. I use a single lanyard and when I need to climb past a limb but stay on the main trunk I dig my spurs into the tree , hold onto the tree with one arm unclip lanyard throw out over the branch, and re- clip to my saddle and progress and high as I need to in order to set my snatch block? I would not ever suggest doing it that way but that's just how I do it not knowing any different. Thank you for the videos very informative.

Stopper knot ?

I’ve learned so much from you Patrick your Videos are top notch ! Thank You for all you do 👍

How to use this system in real work?

Knut cant possibly be a name of a hitch, or can it? Considering its just the swedish word for knot

Is the micropully adding friction? Why is it being used here?

Hey how would I add a swivel if I wanted to

Don’t forget to put stopper not on other end of your home made lanyard

Kinda crazy how the community is in lock-step with everyone pushin out vids of lanyards etc

Mistake ..you did a video on lineyard ...and forget ...stop knot on the end of rope ...ahia ahia ahia ...
