Sterling TriTech Lanyard Kit

The Sterling TriTech lanyard kit is a ready-to-set-up positioning lanyard built from Sterling's TriTech rope. It gives you a second point of attachment for pruning, limb walks, and spur work without the weight of a wire core.

Where it fits

An all-rope lanyard is the everyday choice for many climbers. It is lighter, softer to handle, and easier on bark than a wire core. In a kit, the rope, connectors, and adjuster are matched, so you are not guessing at hitch cord diameter or snap fit.

Use it as your secondary attachment while pruning, around the stem on spur work, or to hold position on a limb walk while you set a cut.

Setup and inspection

Assemble and test the adjuster at ground level. Inspect the rope for cuts, glazing, and hard spots, and check every connector gate. Retire any lanyard that has touched a running chain. See other lanyard kits if you need wire core or a mechanical adjuster.

All-rope lanyards are also kinder to the tree on pruning jobs, since they do not grind the bark the way a wire core can. On a long day of crown cleaning, the lighter weight on your saddle is noticeable. If your lanyard gets frequent saw nicks, it is a sign to rethink your cut positions or move to a steel-core lanyard for that work.

Store it out of sunlight and away from fuel in the truck.

Life-support gear must meet the applicable standard (ANSI Z133 and the manufacturer's instructions), be inspected before every climb, and be used only by trained climbers.
