Hi, Bill --
For your situation (a Trylon Titan tower with angle braces and
legs), I
would suggest having a lanyard that goes between the D-rings and has a
big
gorilla/rebar hook attached to the middle. You can hook that on just
about
any diagonal very quickly and then you're free to make any adjustments
to
your other lanyard. This would eliminate one of your lanyards. Iron
workers
and some tower pros use this very technique with most of the lanyards
being
made out of small chain. The only thing is that you have to be careful
because you can get whacked pretty good in a very tender spot with this
big
chunk of steel dangling between your legs.
