Description
A must for alpine, ice, trad and multi-pitch climbers: The single-strand Alpine Trad Sling offers faster and therefore safer handling than traditional slings. Instead of pulling it over your head and arm, you simply unclip the carabiner and pull the sling from your body. The Alpine Trad Sling uses the same quantity of material as a round sling, but rather than being stitched into a closed ring, the single-strand construction has a loop at each end to attach a carabiner. Intermediate belays can be quickly and easily shortened from 120 to 60 or 30 cm. 100% ultra-light Dyneema material offering the following advantages in comparison with regular nylon: higher strength/weight ratio, reduced water absorption and greater abrasion resistance. Weight 31 g. Weight reduction of 11% compared with our lightest sling 120 cm Contact Sling 8.0.

Favorite alpine runner Best features of any on the market: - Tight loop on one end to hold the carabiner correctly for a fast clip - Loose loop on the other end for a. easy clipping b. clip two biners c. girth hitch / lark's foot - thin, not bulky I really really wish these would come in 60cm (24 inch) for replacing all of my loop style alpine runners! I've asked custom shops to make me one and

Öse zu klein Ich finde das Produkt nahezu perfekt aber meines Erachtens ist eine der Ösen zu klein. Ich habe das auch schon bemängelt. Die Rückmeldung ich solle doch einen Schnapp- an Stelle eines HMS Karabiners verwenden finde ich unbefriedigend. Der Nutzen /Einsatzbereich des Produktes würde sich erheblich erweitern wenn man die kleine Öse nur um ein paar Millimeter vergrößert und der Aufwand in

Great product for acting as Great product for acting as a gear sling. Also, multipurpose if you need to use it on the climb.

Totally amazing Such a great product for a wide variety of uses however I find two things that could be done to improve. Firstly the stitching is large so can be annoying if wanting it short just on your harness but obviously would reduce strength. Secondly I would usually use these where I need to set up an alpine sling quickly and it’s pretty good as you can see roughly where the whole is due to

Amazing original product very innovative product! Lighter, stronger, and faster to use then its circular sewn predecessor. Would highly recommend these slings, great for many other rigging applications also. I wish it came in a longer length though. A 240 cm would be nice also.

Pretty neat It took me some time to get comfortable with how I want to use this thing, but I've figured out enough uses that a few come with me on many climbs. It's well-made for what it does; you just need to figure out whether you're interested in what it does. On lead, I've settled on carrying it with a racking 'biner in the small hole end and looping it over my shoulder like you would a doubl
