What is everyone out there using for tower climbing lanyards? I was eyeing
something like this:

This is close to what I prefer. What I prefer is no longer legal and I'm not encouraging anyone to do it!. Don't modify commercial equipment!

Without the latch I'd find them acceptable as they'd open with thumb pressure and a bit deeper to reduce the possibility of inadvertent opening. My hands are small and latches on all of the hooks I've used are a real PITA. These may be different. I'd certainly purchase a set to try. (I'm not above spending money on safety equipment to find the best for utility.) My preference is for a deep, open Gorilla hook. Unlikely to come off accidentally, but almost effortlessly removed. OTOH Never climb above them! On the last set I had they were spring loaded and rotated to unlock. Those were the ultimate PITA for small hands.
