All Gear Blue Craze Replacement Lanyard

The All Gear Blue Craze replacement lanyard is a rope positioning lanyard made from the same Blue Craze line many climbers already use as a climbing rope. It suits climbers who want their lanyard to handle like their main line.

On the stem

Using the Blue Craze rope for a lanyard means the same familiar feel in your hands at the tie-in and on the stem. A replacement lanyard lets you swap out a worn line while keeping your adjuster and snap, which is cheaper than replacing a full kit.

A good positioning lanyard should grip in an adjuster or hitch without slipping, run smoothly when you shorten it one-handed, and resist abrasion from bark. Remember that a lanyard is for work positioning, not fall arrest, and that around a saw you need a steel-core flipline or a second tie-in.

Many climbers prefer a lanyard length that wraps the largest stems they regularly work with a little to spare. Too short and you cannot get around a big trunk; too long and the tail gets in the way of the saw. Think about the trees you climb most when you choose.

Fit, inspection, and replacement

Before buying, check that the rope diameter suits your adjuster or hitch cord. You can compare lengths and termination styles among other rope lanyards.

Inspect the lanyard before every climb for cuts, glazing, crushed spots, and wear at the splice, and replace it when in doubt. Life-support gear must meet the applicable standard (ANSI Z133 and the manufacturer's instructions), be inspected before every use, and be used only by trained climbers.
