Waste of a snaphook. I use one that I SPLICE MYSELF(not an advertisement) That has a big eye one one end for the prusik knot, then a little carabiner eye on the other end.

The carabiner I use for footlocking then goes on the end of my climbing line that I SPLICED MYSELF after I get up to the TIP in the tree.

Dunno

Have one (sort of, fiddled around with a 5/8 3 strand safety lanyard I got cheap on eBay) but never used it.


Here's the info from a rope manufacturer....

Footlock Runner Locking Snap on One End, 11” Eye on Other End

Available in ½”, 12-strand single braid, Sta-Set double braid or 3-strand filament dacron.

Loop can be tied into a Prusik knot around climbing line for use as a limb walking lanyard or a footlock safety.

Allows extra “freedom” while working in the tree.

Length: 42”

Not going to post the URL, since I don't know if they are sponsors.

But they have some NEat rope.
