The Metolius Rabbit Runner Spectra Sling includes sewn end loops that allow it to be used as an over-the-shoulder sling or a double-length sling on rock and ice climbs. Not only does this versatile runner provide plenty of protection options, it also reduces clutter compared to standard double slings. When worn over the shoulder, the Metolius Rabbit Runner can be un-clipped and freed from the tangle of gear without having to pull it over your head.

Bottom Line: Reduce tangle and increase protection options with the Metolius Rabbit Runner Spectra Sling.

Best sling option for alpine

By:

Mark Twight has been using these things forever, and I'm surprised more alpinists don't. They're heavier than an 8mm, yes, but they don't cluster around your neck, you can pull one off without lowering your arms, and each 1 is either a single length or double length sling, depending on what you need for each piece.

Alpine runners

By: Backcountry.com Employee

These Rabbit Runners are the way to go for alpine and trad climbing. If there's a chance you'll need long runners or to sling natural pro, these Spectra bunnies are lightweight, durable, and are the most versatile option. If you sling runners over your shoulder, they won't get all tangled together because you can remove one by unclipping the biner holding them together - instead of pulling it over your head.

While its true that any double length runner can be racked that way, the point really is that these are double length with only the same amount of material as a normal shoulder length runner (which would need to be pulled over your head if you had them racked over a shoulder). That, and these are just cool

Any 4ft runner can be pulled off your shoulder, even under a bunch of other gear, if you know how to rack it correctly. It's actually quite simple.
