Petzl Scorpio Vertigo Lanyard Climbing Set, Multi, One Size

Used this for several via ferratas in Norway and Switzerland. It's strong, trustworthy, and does what it's designed for well. Fit was perfect and felt completely safe to use.

I bought this lanyard specifically to use while climbing the Half Dome cable route at Yosemite National Park.I felt confident and safe while clipped in using this lanyard.It worked as advertised and I'll continue to trust it on other Via Ferrata routes.

ESSENTIAL (when paired with a proper climbing harness) for the Half Dome cables. If you want to clip yourself In, which I recommend you do, this is the only way to do it right. Attaching climbing rope to carabiners is only going to give you a false sense of security. I am extremely pleased with my purchase, helped give me the confidence to climb half dome!Even if you trust your own skills, anything can happen on the cables. A pole could get pulled out of the rock (I saw it happen). A water bottle or phone could fall and someone inadvertently reaches for it, etc... the peace of mind this gear offers is worth its weight in gold.

We used this for our hike to Half Dome in September 2024 and was very happy with our purchase. We did not rely solely on it as it is not required to clip into the cables, but it gave us a peace of mind. Easy to use and it's a quality product. Highly recommend!

Pros:-As you would expect from Petzl, extremely well made, sturdy-Spring-loaded gates are secure but can still unclip/re-clip quickly with a glove on. My son and I used on Half Dome cables, and no one behind us, without protection, was proceeding any faster.-"Accordion" lanyard is a plus - it's not dragging too far behind you when you need to change at junctions, you don't need to keep it between your hands on the cable. But you can "stretch" the lanyard (gently!) and lean back and rest full weight on it as is needed.-Really clear instructions-Pretty compact, given what it can doCons:-Wish the grey harness connection loop was a wee bit longer, to accommodate more types of harnesses, like the BD Alpine Bod. I ended up using doubled and reversed locking biners as my connection point instead. (And other climbers, please don't comment on how safe/unsafe this added piece in the system is, as the climbing boards are already filled with this debate, thanks.)Recommend you practice at home first before you use for real on something more vertical.

Not the lightest product out there but i trust this brand to save me from falling off the mountain

Wanted to use this for hiking half dome cables. Heavy in weight and bulky.
