Category: Lanyards and Daisy Chains for Mountaineering – Essential Equipment for Safe Anchoring and Progress

Lanyards and daisy chains are essential elements for mountaineering, sport climbing, trad climbing and via ferrata maneuvers. Designed to ensure maximum safety and versatility, these accessories are used for building anchors, progression on ropes and self-belaying during belays and exposed traverses. Choose from a wide range of cords in Dyneema, nylon or Kevlar and discover daisy chains with reinforced stitching and modular constructions, perfect for every technical need.

Lanyards for Mountaineering: Reliability and Resistance at Critical Points

Lanyards, also known as slings or lanyards, are used to connect the climber to an anchor point or to create intermediate protection. Made of high-strength materials such as Dyneema and nylon, these lanyards offer an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring excellent shock absorption during falls. Choosing the right lanyard means evaluating the type of activity practiced: Dyneema lanyards are appreciated for their lightness and resistance to abrasion, while nylon ones provide greater elasticity and tolerance to dynamic forces.

Available in various lengths and diameters, mountaineering cords are suitable for multiple uses, from the creation of prusik and self-locking devices, to the construction of safe belays and abseil maneuvers. Each cord is tested and certified according to international UIAA and CE standards, ensuring maximum reliability even in the most demanding situations.

Daisy Chain: Versatility and Safety in Rope Progression

Daisy chains are essential tools for progression on technical terrain, especially on long routes or mixed terrain where speed and safety are essential. Made up of a series of rings sewn in sequence, they allow you to easily adjust the distance from the anchor and create multiple connections. Used primarily for self-belaying and aid progression, daisy chains must be handled with care, avoiding overloading the individual rings so as not to compromise their integrity.

Available in a variety of lengths and constructions, daisy chains are made from lightweight, durable materials like Dyneema and polyester to reduce weight and withstand extreme stress. Some models feature reinforced stitching and wider loops to make it easier to quickly attach and remove a carabiner. Choosing the right daisy chain depends on your specific use: for traditional mountaineering, models with closely spaced loops offer fine adjustment of length, while for via ferrata and big wall climbing, models with more robust stitching are preferable.

Technical Features to Consider

- Material: Dyneema, nylon or polyester. Dyneema is the lightest and strongest material, ideal for reducing the overall weight of the equipment, while nylon offers greater elasticity and durability.
- Length and Diameter: Choose the length and diameter of the cord according to the specific use. Longer lengths are suitable for complex anchor constructions, while smaller diameters (from 5mm to 8mm) guarantee flexibility and lightness.
- Safety Certifications: Verify that each lanyard and daisy chain is UIAA and CE certified, synonymous with quality and reliability in the mountaineering field.
- Breaking Strength and Maximum Load: Check the breaking strength of the material and the maximum load supported. Dyneema cords, although very strong, have a low melting point, so they must be used with care in the presence of prolonged friction.
