Sterling TriTech Lanyard with Double Locking Snap

The Sterling TriTech lanyard is a rope flipline built from Sterling's TriTech rope and finished with a double locking snap. It is a work-positioning lanyard for spurring up spars, holding position on removals, and adding a second point of attachment while cutting.

What a rope flipline does

A flipline wraps the stem and clips back to your saddle so you can lean back and work with both hands. On a removal it is your main point of attachment while you spur up and cut; in a spreading canopy it is a second tie-in when you cut near your climbing line. An adjuster, either a rope grab or a friction hitch, lets you shorten and lengthen it as the stem changes size.

Rope lanyards are lighter and easier on the hands than wire-core ones. See the rest of our rope lanyards to compare lengths and setups.

Cutting safely on a rope lanyard

A rope lanyard can be cut by a chainsaw, so keep the bar away from it, position yourself so the saw cannot drift toward it, and have a second attachment when you are cutting above or near it. Never cut while relying on a lanyard you cannot see.

Check the rope, eyes, and snap before every climb: look for cuts, glazing, fuzzing at the eye, and a snap that does not close and lock on its own. Treat it as life-support equipment: it must meet ANSI Z133 and the manufacturer's instructions, be inspected before every climb, and be used only by trained climbers.
