Oplux Tether Advice Needed

[Kwfranklin88]

I’m purchasing a oplux tether and lineman’s belt from wild edge. Im gonna run the kong duck for lineman’s belt. I need advice on the tether.

I had a tethrd tether last year and the prusik carabiner combo was too long. I run my tether at chin height and could not get my prusik up far enough to be in a more leaning stance. With it all the way up I was still in a sitting position because the prusik and carabiner added so much length.

So I was going to use a duck on the tether to eliminate some of this length but I’m kind of afraid to use it on the tether.

I feel much safer with a prusik. Is the wild edge kiss line kit with prusik the same length as the tethrd?

If you are using oplux tether what are you using and how are you rigging it up?

I use an Oplux tether with a CT Rollnlock and tie an alpine butterfly knot above the stopper knot and connect to the carabiner as a backup.

The most straight forward way to go with the oplux tether is with beal jammy or Wild Edge's prusik loop. All other methods, besides mechanical require at least some familiarity with knots. Start studying poachers knots if you want a distel or schwabish hitch (which should allow you to get the tails a bit shorter). Or make your own continiuos loops with double fishermen's knots.
You've got research to do.
