I carry two 120cm slings with me every day, each on their own snapgate carabiner.

The Mammut Contact slings are the creme de la creme of slings. The Contact has a slim bartack that is sewn together so that there are no exposed edges. Pick up a 180cm or 240cm to use as anchor material.

I use this sting all the time for anchors, longer extensions, and more. It lives on my harness whether I'm cragging on in the alpine.
