[TowerTalk] Climbing Harness

[wc1m73 at gmail.com]

I was going to ask the same question. So, if I have a safety cable that I climb with a wire rope grab attached to the front D-ring, the Y-lanyard can be replaced with a standard 1-hook fall arrest  lanyard attached to the rear D-ring. Alternatively, I can replace the fall-arrest lanyard with an SRL attached to the rear D-ring and get a lot more mobility around the work position when unclipped from the safety cable.

SRL = Self retracting lifeline. You fall it snatches you in about 4 inches!

>  Tuf-Tug is the only type we use. It sure beats all the clipping on and off all the way up! They do make tie off points if you wanted to use more than one cable. (one SC to the first ring, one SC to the second, etc. Tie offs anywhere around the rings. They have different angle ones as well.

 

    I googled Tuf-Tug and it showed comealongs. What am I missing?

 

>  Once I'm up top I use my SRL so I can move anywhere I want to

 

    Ok, what's an SRL? Tnx.
