With the addition of this simple prusik tool, your lanyard now gains superpowers.
Choke it on a stem and become more stable, attach your pocket wedge to it, use it in a 3:1 setup, use it to hold up extra lanyard, a central attachment when your lanyard is around 2 stems.... the list goes on!
Cheap, strong & useful - what is not to love?
The prusik is 12" long, a snug fit on a 11.7mm rope.
