Yale R.I.N.G. Lanyard Kit with Triple Locking Snap

The Yale R.I.N.G. lanyard kit with a triple locking snap is a positioning lanyard built on Yale Cordage rope, terminated with a snap that clips cleanly to your saddle's side D-ring. It gives you an adjustable second attachment for spar work and positioning on limbs.

Snap-terminated lanyards

Many climbers prefer a snap on the lanyard end because it sits flat in a side D-ring and is quick to clip with a gloved hand. A triple-locking snap adds an extra deliberate step to open, which makes accidental opening against bark or rope much less likely.

Yale Cordage is a long-time US rope maker for arborists and industry. If you prefer a carabiner-terminated version, compare the other lanyard kits we carry.

Choose your lanyard length based on the stems you climb most. A longer lanyard wraps bigger trunks and gives more room to adjust, while a shorter one is lighter and easier to manage on smaller trees. Check the kit's listed length before ordering, and remember you can always add a second lanyard later.

Using and inspecting the kit

Confirm what the kit includes and assemble or adjust it only as Yale's instructions allow. A lanyard is life-support gear: it must meet the applicable standard, be used within ANSI Z133 and be used by trained climbers.

Check the rope, splice, snap gate and adjuster before every climb. A rope lanyard can be cut by a saw in a moment, so keep the bar away from it. Retire it after a cut, heat damage, a shock load or a gate that does not lock fully.
