Best 120cm sling climbing reddit dyne As far as brands go, I absolutely recommend the mammut dyneema slings. 6 is a good start if you supplement with sport draws for long pitches. They are also light for alpine stuff. A figure of 8/overhand isnt going anywhere, though. I have a big background in backpacking and long hikes. 1x 240cm nylon runner that is rarely used, only for the biggest trees (and often as a basket hitch) or when the three pieces are in wildly different spots. I test this on a regular basis by tying them in dyneema slings and using those slings as part of a belay. Knots like the water knot are relatively slippy (even in nylon, good idea to check any hand tied slings before you use them) so arent a good idea in dyneema. I personally dont like using sport draws for trad climbing so I carry 10 regular shoulder length slings and 2 double length slings on longer stuff, all racked with 2 carabiners on my harness. Typically still over 10kn. Its stronger to connect 2 slings with a carabiner or use a long sling, but it doesn't strike me as that silly of a thing to do as long as you know the outcome. You will find that using a single sling for pas and for other purposes is not practical as you will spend unnecessary time tying and untying knots rather than climbing! And I second the advice to get a 120cm sling for general purpose (anchor building, alpine draw, etc. For situations that will put a lot of abuse on gear, like top rope anchors or multi-pitch anchors, I like cordelette or tied nylon runners. ) nylon sling will last much longer and hold up to more wear and tear so So currently I use a pre built quad with a 120cm sling for sport climbing. 1x 120cm nylon runner tied into what I call a "baby quad". 1x 120cm nylon runner, often used for a clove v configuration or girthing a medium tree when I'm not worried about redundancy. These uses tend to not be very rough on slings. . I’m looking into getting into more alpine climbing so I was wondering what’s best for me moving on. Essentially girth hitching 2 slings results in about 50% of its total breaking strength. They tend to be more versatile and durable than dyneema slings, and they are cheap enough to cut up or leave behind. viumz coqw nblfqy bqje hiboa fcidfk rezr kem icbg fuxol
