thanx od. my concern is the cover pulling free and slidind down the cable. i dont use this setup and think it makes no sense to me ,but i was wondering if it is ok to do.as long as the rope around the steelcore isnt bunged up i dont see why not.
i'd rather use a gibbs or the likes though. even on my rope flip. they seem to deal with pine sap on the flip better than a rope hitch does.
thats my take.
are you sure there not 3/4:hmm3grin2orange:You definately can use a hip prusik on a steel core lanyard, even advance it with a micro pulley but don't use the pulley if your lanyard has a snap on each end . You may have a loss of control if you accidently have the pulley on the wrong side of the prusik when using the 2 in 1 lanyard. Prusik grab and hold very well but it seems that your always working them loosening and tightning them. I myself no longer use the prusik on my lanyards, I have 2 lanyards on my saddle at all times,1 on each hip, 1 cable core, 1 not. Both are 5/8"and minded with a Petzl macrograb.
are you sure there not 3/4:hmm3grin2orange:
I currently use a four finger prussic on my steel core with a micro pulley for one handed adjusting. I works fine until you hit the sap, then the misery starts. I am waiting for my mechanical adjuster by mail order.

nope....... 5/8".
Macrograbs fits 5/8"- 3/4" lanyard.
have yet to see a 3/4" wirecore lanyard.:hmm3grin2orange:
Funny-i read your first post and was gonna ask when you are gonna get rid of the gibbs.
Change of subject a bit oldirty, but it is about friction hitches, didn't i read on here a while ago you were gonna switch to the martin? How's that coming along?
Why 5/8"? That's alot of lanyard.
