1/2" Wire Core Flipline Kit

This 1/2 wire core flipline kit is a single-leg positioning lanyard built on half-inch rope with a steel core, supplied as a kit with the adjuster and hardware. It is the classic setup for spur climbing on removals, where the saw works close to the lanyard.

Single-leg kit vs. 2-in-1

Do not confuse it with the 2-in-1 wire core kit, which has two legs so you can stay tied in while passing limbs. This is the single-leg version: one wire core flipline with its adjuster and hardware. It is simpler, lighter on the saddle, and a common choice for straight spar work or as a second lanyard alongside a rope one.

If you already own an adjuster, the flipline alone is also sold separately. Compare complete setups in our lanyard kits.

A kit saves you from piecing together an adjuster and connectors that may not suit each other. Check the listing for the exact hardware and length before you order, and make sure the adjuster is one you are trained to use.

What the wire core does and does not do

The steel core adds cut resistance, which helps when you are cutting a top or face close to your lanyard. It is not cut-proof. A running chain can still cut through, so keep the saw clear of the lanyard and make sure the bar is never near it on a cut.

Wire core lanyards must never be used near energized lines. Inspect the cover and core for kinks, broken wires, cuts and worn eyes before every climb. Life-support use must follow ANSI Z133, the manufacturer's instructions, and your training, and the gear should be inspected before every climb.
