NEW!! We are converting our program to stainless, with the help of HowNOT2, starting with 6mm and 7mm. These are sourced from Climbing Taiwan who does a great QA job - and yet the price is about half of what we previously had to charge. And then tariffs, means the price is about the same.

The new 6mm LONG rapides are especially nice because they open wide, so they can fit over honking glue in bolts, etc. We have added 7mm LONG rapides also. Yes, the long ones are heavier than the normal ones…

8mm: Genuine Maillons Rapides from France - with quality control and excellent workmanship! The standard for leaving as 'rings' on rappel anchors. Steel holds up to wet sandy ropes a whole lot better than aluminium. Discounted when buying 10 at a time. aka Rapid Link Rapide Quick Link Ring Q/RL RL

Prices up a LOT with “the modern world”. Moving steel from France or Taiwan to the USA has become expensive. Though I still take a short margin since RLs are left in place as a donation to the community. (If you want links to not be harvested put a drop of superglue on the threads as you install them.)

NOTE: counts on availability are screwy because we are selling 10-packs and singles from the same stock. So if what you want does not show as available, drop us an email and we can adjust how we present it on the website - assuming we have some in stock.
