These positioning lanyard/flipline Kits contain a professionally-spliced rope flipline and adjust with a suitable prusik and hitch-tending pulley. A double-locking carabiner for attaching the flipline lanyard to the tree climber's harness is included. Many climbers prefer to adjust a non-steel core flipline with a prusik and pulley instead of a flipline adjuster, as the performance is smoother. Rope flipline are sometimes preferred for their lighter construction, more flexible body, and lack of conductive steel-core.
We have work-positioning replacement lanyards, and offer kits with adjusters or kits with prusiks.
Rope clip color on fliplines may vary.

Rated: Excellent Review by: Daryl
“ Excellent lanyard. The stable braid has a very good feel to the hand. All the mechanical parts are smooth and easy to use. ”
Inexpensive and durable 3-strand lanyards. Made from 12mm (1/2”) Samson Pro-Master. These will give much better performance than the Buckstraps some folks may have learned on, while still having a familiar grip and look. Easily adjust the length of the lanyard while in use with the included prusik.
The hipSTAR Flex is a multifunctional and certified lanyard that capitalizes on the benefits of the "Hitch Climber System" for length adjustment.
This lanyard system features a moveable prusik on a steel thimble on one end, and a prusik and pulley slack-tender on the other. The steel thimble on the prusik can be used to create a better tie-in around a limb, or even to mount a Revolver carabiner to create mechanical advantage for rescue operations. See data sheet and video on our hipSTAR page for more ideas.
The hipSTAR Flex is the newly-certified version of the CElanyard, now certified to: EN 358, EN 795B, AS/NZS 1891.1:2007, and ANSI Z133-2017.
Many climbers are discovering the benefits of carrying an extra-long lanyard with them as they ascend. The length of the lanyard lets it be used like a second climbing line, and can be switched to when the main climbing line needs to be advanced. The extra length in a positioning lanyard opens up possibilities for working the canopy, and when you don't need the full length, store the excess in the lanyard pouch or Climb Bucket.
Lanyard comes with Bail Out prusik, Phlotich pulley, and 2 x Rock Exotica oval carabiners.
The Buckingham TreeSqueeze™ is made from the same 7/16" uniline used on the Buck RigidLine except Buckingham has doubled the rope for extra rigidity, cut resistance and surface area. Large aluminum ring on the end allows for easy hook up to saddle with carabiner or when used with the Prusik, the climbing line can be fed through to allow a choke on the tree. This provides Fall Protection during a gaff out or an escape option if you have to quickly descend the tree. Retrieval of the Buckingham TreeSqueeze™ from the ground is the same as retrieving a Buckingham Friction Saver.
