• INDISPENSABLE EQUIPMENT. Slings (also known as runners) are versatile climbing accessories made by tying or sewing a loop of webbing. Highly useful for traditional, multi-pitch, ice, and alpine climbing. These are also used as anchors, anchor extensions to reduce friction, and help equalize multiple protection points for a safer climb.
• TOUGH YET FLEXIBLE. Our 16mm polyamide slings are sturdy but still have a little stretch to them. It adds an extra layer of shock absorption built into your climbing system. This elasticity makes it a safer option for anchor attachment or for extending a rappel. The smooth texture is also easy on the hands.
• STRONGEST IN THE WORLD. Dyneema is said to be one of the strongest fibers in the world, even stronger than steel and therefore a great material for slings. Our 10mm Dyneema slings are light, thin, have less friction, and have high abrasion resistance. They also do not absorb water making them a better choice for ice and alpine climbing.
• VARIETY OF LENGTHS. Both polyamide and Dyneema slings come in 30cm, 60cm, 80cm, 120cm, and 180cm. Each length serves a different purpose -tying off pitons, alpine quickdraws, or extension to reduce rope drag. Both sling types have a rated breaking strength of 22kN and meet safety requirements relevant to European regulations.
