    Is there a better Prusik knot for lanyard adjustments

    Thanks again guys for the info. I climbed yesterday. I now have a Distel setup on the Lanyard. I used this for about three days without any issues. Yesterday however the first time I used it...it didn't grab. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't going to lay into it without checking it first but...

    Is there a better Prusik knot for lanyard adjustments

    I think you may be right. I have't actually used the 8mm Ocean on the lanyard in an actual climb but I can tell you that whatever this hitch cord is that I'm using now isn't a confidence builder. It's 10mm, which should be fine with a 1/12" lanyard rope...right? But it's a rather a loose...

    Is there a better Prusik knot for lanyard adjustments

    On my lanyard I'm using a Hitch Climber pulley for my adjustment with a four wrap prusik knot. One....I don't think the Hitch Climber pulley is the best for this as the DMM Pinto seem like a better choice but the standard four wrap prusik doesn't seem to be the best for this applications.
