2-in-1 Hi-Vee Replacement Lanyard

This Hi-Vee replacement lanyard is the rope for a 2-in-1 adjustable lanyard, sold so you can replace a worn line and keep your adjuster and snaps. It is the cheaper fix when the rope is tired but the hardware still passes inspection.

Rebuilding a 2-in-1

A 2-in-1 lanyard runs the tail back through the adjuster so the same rope gives you a flipline length and a shorter positioning length. The rope takes all the wear, especially where it runs through the adjuster and wraps the stem, so it usually goes long before the snaps and adjuster do.

Before you rebuild, check that the rope diameter matches your adjuster's rated range and that your snaps or carabiners still pass inspection. If any hardware is worn, replace it too. Complete builds are in our rope lanyards section.

Rebuilding also lets you change the length. If your old lanyard always felt a little short on big stems, or long enough to get in the way, a new rope is the time to fix it. Mark the date you put it in service on a tag or in your gear log.

Inspection and limits

Run the rope through your hands before every climb. Look for cuts, glazing, flat spots, pulled strands and damage near the eyes. Retire it after a shock load or any damage you cannot explain.

A rope lanyard is not cut resistant. Keep the saw away from it and use a wire-core flipline for heavy spar work. Life-support gear must meet the applicable standard, be used per the manufacturer's instructions and ANSI Z133, and be inspected before every climb. Get trained before you rely on it aloft.
