BD Supertape 60-cm Sling / Dynex 60 cm
BD Supertape 60-cm Sling / Dynex 60 cm
18mm Nylon Supertape Over-the-Shoulder Slings. Nice to have a few of these. They lie flatter across the shoulder than tied slings, and are quite a bit less expensive than spectra slings. Nylon absorbs more water than Dynex, but lasts longer. Makes a good bunny strap.
Weight: 39 grams or 1.36 ounces
10mm DYNEX Over-the-Shoulder Slings made from UHMPE webbing. Nice to have a few of these. Smaller and lighter, and non-absorbant. More expensive, and possibly not as durable. But, deluxe!!
Weight: 19 grams or 0.7 ounces

Resurrected, using a commercially available sling. The new Clipster3 is a great, simple safety leash.
Doing canyons, you're using ropes; from time to time you gotta clip into things. There are other products that work OK, but are heavy and expensive. Those from a climbing background often use a daisy chain, but it is awkward and long, and you don't really need the adjustability of length.
Soft, grippy nylon accessory cord for prusiks. Sold by the foot - order how many feet you want, I will provide one continuous piece. (I know it sounds silly to say that, but some people ask.) Up to the length of the spool. Color: pretty, but probably not as shown.
Strength: 750 daN
