ClimbingPro grade

This Yale R.I.N.G. lanyard kit with DMM carabiners gives you a ready-to-climb rope positioning lanyard built from Yale rope with DMM connectors. It is a straightforward way to get a matched lanyard setup without sourcing each piece yourself.

What a lanyard kit saves you

Building a lanyard from scratch means matching rope diameter to an adjuster, choosing carabiners that sit right, and making sure everything is compatible. A kit takes care of that, so you can unpack it, check it over, and clip it to your saddle.

The positioning lanyard is the tool that lets you lean back on a spar or hold your place in the canopy with your hands free. Compare other lanyard kits if you want a different length or adjuster.

Kits like this were popular with large tree care companies because every climber gets the same setup, which makes training and inspection simpler. If you are building a kit for a new climber, it removes a lot of guesswork about what fits together.

Setup and inspection

Clip each end to your saddle's side D-rings with the gates facing away from the tree and the locks engaged. Adjust the length so you can work comfortably without leaning out of balance.

A rope lanyard is not cut-resistant, so keep the saw well clear of it. Inspect the rope, the eyes, and every carabiner before each climb. Life-support gear must meet the applicable standard and the manufacturer's instructions, be inspected before every climb, and be used only by trained climbers working to ANSI Z133.
