Lanyard Adjustment

Basic old style lanyard adjustment. Tried a Petzl grab, didn't like for the 5/8 cord.

It can be let out easily with either hand. In the video I used my left, while climbing I usually use my right.

Pretty effective ... KISS principal at it's best. Ideal for the jobs you're doing.

Is that rated? What safety factor is there. I know it is steel core but it looks to be bending on an edge. Not good for rope? What brand is it or is it home made?

It's rated at 14,700 lbs. Yup, homemade.

<edit> That's the lanyard, if you mean the steel plate - no idea. Had my rope thrown through the chipper and yank my spurs out once, the only thing to bend with regards to my lanyard was the quick-link before ripping the back of my saddle.</edit>

I have worried about this happening on several jobs where the chipper is close enough to the tree, which is almost all of the time. Its one of those things that I always try to keep an eye on, so do my workers. I am constantly moving the climbers rope. I am sitting here trying to imagine how it went down, .. scary.
