Sterling TriTech Lanyard with Triple Locking Snap

The Sterling TriTech lanyard with snap is a rope positioning lanyard terminated with a triple-locking snap hook. Use it as a replacement lanyard rope or build your own setup with the adjuster of your choice.

Build or replace

This is the lanyard rope with a snap on it, without a full kit around it. That makes it a good choice when you already have an adjuster you like, whether a prusik or a mechanical positioner, and only need fresh rope.

The triple-locking snap needs three actions to open, which helps keep it shut when it rubs against bark or other gear.

Setup and inspection

Confirm your adjuster is compatible with the rope, set it up, and test it at ground level. Inspect the snap gate and rope before every climb. Retire the lanyard after saw contact. See more rope lanyards.

Many climbers keep two lanyards on a big removal: one wrapped on the stem and one as a backup when cutting near the first. A plain lanyard with a snap is an economical way to add that second one.

When you set it up with your adjuster, make sure the snap faces the right way on the D-ring so the gate is clear of the trunk and other hardware. Test it with your full weight at ground level before you climb.

Mark the in-service date on a tag and record it in your gear log.

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.
