2-in-1 Wire Core Lanyard

A 2 in 1 lanyard for tree climbing gives you two connection points in one piece of gear, with wire core where cut resistance counts. It lets you keep one leg around the stem while you move the other past a limb, so you stay tied in through the whole move.

Why two legs

Passing limbs on a spar is when climbers are most likely to get caught out. With a 2 in 1 lanyard you set the second leg above or below the limb before releasing the first, so you are always tied in twice during the move.

The wire core adds cut resistance, but it is not chainsaw proof. Keep the saw away from any lanyard.

Having both legs on one lanyard also cuts clutter. There is one piece to manage on the saddle instead of two, and less chance of the second lanyard catching on limbs or tangling with your climbing line as you work down a spar.

Fit and inspection

Choose a length that suits the stems you work on and pair it with a good adjuster. Inspect the rope cover, wire core and splices for damage, kinks and broken strands, and the snaps for wear. Life-support gear has to meet the applicable standard and the manufacturer's instructions, get inspected before every climb, and be used only by trained climbers.

Compare with the 2-in-1 wire core flipline kit.

Store it coiled loosely, away from fuel and bar oil, and never leave a wire core lanyard kinked under weight. A sharp kink can damage the core in ways that are hard to see from outside.
