Re:Spider Rig... 7 Months, 2 Weeks ago

Holden, did your 11mm lanyard come with the Klimair? It has stamped right on the body that it should only be used with 12" rope. It seems strange that you could purchase the set together when they are not sized to be used together. That might be the reason you are having slipping issues.

They were sold together as a unit. The problem is the whole inches vs. mm sizing. The unit says to use with a 1/2 inch (not 12) rope, which is APPROXIMATELY equal to 11 mm.

I need to play around with the system a bit and figure out what it can, and can't do. Moss made some good points earlier in the thread. It may be that I'll just need to use traditional friction knots instead of this expensive mechanical device.
