Because two lanyards allow for advancement, I experimented with forming them out of the climbing rope. This method explores the use of an in-line knot that attaches directly to the side-D. This same attachment knot functions as a friction hitch for feeding the lanyard out. This method is a variation of Joe Maher's "Third Rope". It differs in that the two knots required for the "Third Rope" are replaced with one. More significantly, this method eliminates the need for a carabiner at the first side-D attachment. Lanyards are quickly formed out of the climbing rope without juggling carabiners. It also eliminates stowing lanyard line. A standard lanyard requires two carabiners. This requires only one. In a nutshell, it requires less gear and offers more flexibility.
