Yale Phantom Lanyard, Green and Purple, Without Hardware

The Yale Phantom lanyard in green and purple comes without hardware, so you choose the adjuster and connectors that suit how you climb. The green and purple pattern stands apart from your climbing line and from other crew members' gear.

Build it your way

Buying a lanyard bare makes sense when you already have an adjuster you trust, or you want your connectors to match the rest of your saddle. Most climbers set it up as a 2-in-1 or a standard positioning lanyard with an adjuster and a locking connector at each end.

Match the adjuster to the rope diameter its maker lists, and make sure the eyes seat on your carabiners without side-loading the gate. If you would rather buy it ready to go, see our complete fliplines and lanyards.

Bright two-tone rope also helps on busy jobs. The ground crew can see which line is your lanyard at a glance, and you are less likely to grab the wrong tail when you are tired. Record the date it went into service so you know its age when inspection time comes around.

Safe use

Keep the lanyard snug and above the saw's path, and never cut toward it. A rope lanyard is not cut resistant, so use a wire-core flipline for heavy spar work.

Check it before every climb for cuts, glazing, flat spots and eye damage, and retire it after a shock load. Life-support gear must meet the applicable standard, be used per the manufacturer's instructions and ANSI Z133, and be inspected before every climb. Get trained before you rely on it aloft.
