Petzl Dual Connect Vario

Completely adjustable double lanyard anchor system for climbing, mountaineering and canyoning.

The Petzl Dual Connect Vario is an adjustable double lanyard designed for multi-pitch climbing, mountaineering and canyoning. It is versatile and may be used for tethering oneself, or for installing a rappel system or an equalised belay station. The adjustable arm allows the length to be adapted to the requirements of a abseil or an equalised belay station. Due to its ergonomic form, the 'Adjust' rope adjuster provides quick and easy one-handed adjustment.

• Adapts to climbing, mountaineering and canyoning uses.
• May be used as a double lanyard to tether oneself, to install an abseil system or to move along a traverse line.
• May be used to install an equalised belay station, which can be re-adjusted once installed
• Completely adjustable double lanyard.
• Length of fixed arm can be adjusted to the climber's needs.
• Optimal positioning at the anchor.
• Adjust rope adjuster’s ergonomic shape makes it easy to manipulate, for quick and precise adjustment of the adjustable arm.
• Dynamic rope lanyard, to reduce the force transmitted to the user in the event of a short fall (though only when below the anchor as they do not have an energy absorber).
• Connectors are held in position by a rubber ring, to facilitate clipping.
• One-handed adjustment.
• Ideally should be used with two Petzl Sm'D-type locking karabiners (e.g., Screw-Lock on the fixed arm and Twist-Lock on the adjustable arm).

Petzl Connect Devices - The Differences Explained

Petzle Connect devices are designed to keep you safe while sport climbing at the critical point changing from climbing mode to lowering off or abseiling. By being adjustable and made of dynamic (shock absorbing) rope they significantly reduce the risk of shock loading belay anchors. They also make it far less likely that you inadvertently detach yourself completely while threading a chain. The major differences between each device are explained below.

Petzl Connect Adjust: Adjustable one-point anchor, use, together with your lead rope to attach to anchor points. Also useful for making yourself safe at the top of sport routes whilst threading chains. 

Petzl Dual Connect Adjust: Similar to the above with the handy addition of an extra loop, and particularly useful for multi-pitch abseils where the belay device can be fixed to the additional loop and the adjustable loop can be clipped into each individual ab point on the descent

Petzl Dual Connect Vario: Adjustable two-point anchor, allowing the belayer to safely move around belay (useful if having to belay and complete other tasks simultaneously). It can also be used just like the Dual Connect Adjust.
