Tame that long tether with a slipknot

A good climbing guideline: avoid having anything on your harness dangling below your knees. If you do, it's probably gonna trip you.

That can be a problem with some of the longer tethers, like the Petzl Connect Adjust.

Here’s a solution: tie a slipknot in the tether.

That takes up enough of the slack so it stays out of your way. When you want to deploy, it comes undone with a quick tug.

If you want to shorten it up even more, clip the slipknot loop to the tether carabiner.
