Notes/Best Practice:
1.
Climbers should tie off the Slider when they are
detached from it and working elsewhere on the
structure. This is an extra precaution to avoid
the unlikely event of the Slider “slipping” down
the cable during extreme vibrations caused by
other climbers on the structure or wind
2. A snug, proper-fitting certified harness with a
sternum D ring is critical for ensuring the
smoothest possible climb without “snagging”.
A slack, improperly adjusted harness could
have the effect of preventing the pivot arms
from fully opening in ascent or descent, thus
leading to unwanted snagging.

Jurisdiction) to the Slider. The attachment from the sternum D ring to the
Slider should not exceed 0.15 M (6 in) in length. With the karabiner installed, the
Slider cannot be removed from the cable. To ensure the Slider is functioning
properly, pull down on karabiner to duplicate a fall arresting situation. Slider
