Adjustable Lanyards

In climbing, adjustable lanyards are specialized tethers that allow climbers to connect themselves to an anchor point with variable length. Unlike regular slings with fixed lengths, adjustable lanyards offer more versatility for different climbing situations.

Here are some key features of adjustable lanyards:

• Adjustability: The core function is the ability to modify the length of the lanyard. This allows climbers to fine-tune their positioning while working on a route or rappelling.
• Materials: They are typically constructed from dynamic rope, which has the ability to absorb the impact of a fall.
• Locking Mechanisms: The adjustment mechanism can vary depending on the model. Some use rope clamps that can be adjusted even under load, while others might utilize friction knots.
