Buying guide for ski touring ropes and lanyards:


What is a climbing rope or lanyard used for?

Essential elements of your climbing equipment, ropes and lanyards allow you to be safe when enjoying your favourite activity. Choosing a rope is a serious matter. The length, diameter and impact resistance vary from one model to the next, so do the type, weight and number of falls they can withstand. There are multiple rope categories, single rope, double rope (or half rope), twin rope or multilabel. Their diameter should be chosen according to your skill level, thinner ropes are better for seasoned climbers. Ropes can be dynamic to absorb a fall by stretching. They can be static or semi-static to hoist loads or recues someone. The lanyards offered by Glisshop are high-quality models designed to anchor yourself at the belay stance and secure your progression.

What are the different types of rope?


There are two main types of ropes: dynamic and static. The dynamic rope is a little elastic to cushion the fall when needed. As for the static rope, it stretches very little, which makes it very effective for rescues or when it comes to hoisting a load.

For dynamic ropes, there are three different types:

Single rope: the most basic and common rope. It is designed with a single strand that is very resistant. It can absorb multiple falls without being damaged. A single rope usually has a diameter of between 9.5 and 11 mm and is intended for cliff climbing or indoor climbing. It is marked with a 1 at the end.

rope and lanyard

Double rope: made up of double strands, it is generally thinner and lighter than a single rope. This rope is used for abseiling, in fact thanks to its double strand it provides additional security, in case one breaks, the other is always there. Another example of use, in a group, a leader ropes with both strands and the two seconds can rope with one strand each. It is marked with a ½ at the end.

Twin rope: This is a two-strand rope that works in pairs, the two strands must be used together. With a diameter between 7.7 and 8 mm and lighter than a double rope, it is very suitable for ice climbing. Also ideal for abseiling but not meant for rock climbing.

As for the static rope, it excels in all situations where you don't want any stretching. This is the case, for example, when you want to perform a crevasse rescue to lift a load as efficiently as possible and with minimal yo-yo effect. Be careful, this type of rope is to be avoided for climbing, it is not certified for this use.

How to choose the right lanyard?

The lanyard is the rope that allows you to anchor yourself at a belay stance. To use it well and to choose it well is essential for your safety. Dynamic, the lanyard absorbs part of the force of the shock in case of a fall. For some years now, lanyards can be adjustable to adapt to all situations. Sometimes you be too close or too far from the belay, with an adjustable lanyard, it is no longer a problem! Be careful to follow the instructions, for example, do not use the Petzl adjustable lanyard if the fall factor is greater than 1. This type of lanyard is available as a single or double lanyard depending on your activity. A double model is more versatile.
