- Who it's for
- Climbers building multipitch or quad-style anchors, and those rigging alpine draws. All three lengths get specific use: 60 cm for alpine draws, 120 cm as a double-length, 180 cm for anchor building.
- What people are saying
- Hosts consistently praise the suppleness and ease of tying/untying, calling it a favorite over competing brands. One caveat: the dyneema material feels slick to grab.
- Worth noting
- The round cross-section is flagged as a reason it unties more easily than other slings. Notes are otherwise one-sided positive with only the slick texture as a repeated criticism.

My favorite slings for alpine draws (60cm) and for Multipitch Quad style anchors (180cm)
Recommended in Trad Climbing
I love how supple and easy to tie/untie this sling is. I have at least one of each length. I use the 60cm as my alpine draw, the 120cm is the double length, and I LOVE the 180cm for all things anchor building.
Recommended in Rock Climbing
My absolute favorite slings. Made of tubular dyneema, they are much easier too untie knots in than traditional flat slings.
