Double Lanyard 3 Years, 8 Months ago  
On each end of a 20 foot lenght of HiVee rope I had an eye spliced.

Each end has an aluminum snap hook grith hitch on.

In the middle I made a double split-tail tied with butterfly hitch.

Each tail is tied to the HiVee with a Blake's hitch.

As one side is secured and made snug the other gets longer.

The snap hooks rarely get caught in tight forks.

I can advance by using one end first and then toss the other.

See you at the top,
Dan

Part of me says, no matter how long it is (within reason) you'll be glad you have it that long. You could go 30' and you'll use it and be quite happy.

The other part says, "Nick, your flipline is only 10' long!"

  Then here's to the oak, the brave old oak,
       Who stands in his pride alone!
  And still flourish he, a hale green tree,
       When a hundred years are gone!
