Yale R.I.N.G. Lanyard without Snaps

This Yale R.I.N.G. lanyard is supplied without snaps, so you can set it up with the connectors and adjuster that suit your climbing. It is a good option if you already have hardware you trust or want a custom setup.

Why buy a lanyard without snaps

A lot of climbers already own good carabiners or snaps and an adjuster they like. Buying the lanyard rope without hardware lets you replace a worn lanyard and move your trusted hardware across, or build a setup that matches how you work.

Make sure every connector you add is rated for life support and compatible with the lanyard's terminations. Other lanyards are in rope lanyards.

A rope lanyard is part of your work positioning system. It lets you lean back and work with both hands, and it is often your second point of attachment during cuts. That makes rope quality and the right terminations important, and Yale Cordage has a long history of making rope for tree work.

Setup and inspection

Set up and use the lanyard as Yale's instructions describe, and have a competent person check any custom configuration. Inspect the rope for cuts, glazing, stiff spots and wear at the terminations before every climb.

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

If you are not sure how to set up a lanyard without snaps, buy one with hardware fitted by the maker or a qualified supplier, or have an experienced climber help you put it together. A wrong termination is not something to find out about at height.
