- 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.
