Lanyard–Flipline

A flipline lanyard is a positioning tool for spur-and-saddle climbing — its stiffer construction, typically with a fibre core or wire core, lets a climber flip the line around the trunk and maintain a secure work position without the line collapsing under them. At Big Bear Tools, flipline lanyards are sought out by spur climbers and arborists who need a reliable positioning solution for stem work.

When choosing a flipline, consider core construction (wire core provides maximum rigidity; Dyneema or fibre cores offer a balance of stiffness and lighter weight), length, and the terminations or hardware included. Ensure compatibility with your saddle's attachment points and confirm the working load limit meets your requirements.
