What other hosts are saying

3 experts recommend the Metolius Sling - 11 mm / 240 cm.

Dan Morley, Rock Climbing Guide

For making your own alpine draws, I recommend using a 60cm sling and adding two non-locking carabiners. You'll want mostly 60cm alpine draws to trad lead, but you should add a couple 120cm double-length alpine draws for extending past roofs.

Recommended in Trad Climbing Gear

Doug Dobkowski, Outdoor Educator, Guide

These are used for building anchors. The are long enough to encapsulate at least 3 pieces of gear or wrap around big trees. My climbing party always has 2 of these.
