Great runners

By: Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete

For me these light-weight, affordable runners fit the bill for climbing and alpine/ glacier travel. I use them on my crevasse rescue kit and double them for long draws when climbing.

Review Title

By:

They are thicker than others, but still have good uses. I don't use them for draws, sometimes use them for sport personal but with it girth hitched into my harness its a little bulky because of the thickness. My favorite way to use them is the 60cm, doubled, slung over my shoulder/arm. Then if I need an extra utility sling, or something I have to leave on the rock, this is the one I use. They don't cost much either.

They'll work just as well as any other sling, just make sure you don't have the rope running directly through the sling. It takes about 10 seconds to burn through a sling with a rope.

Dynex is lighter, but has a lower melting point than nylon, FYI

These slings are very cost effective. The wide variety of colors allows for easier pro identification.

The length listed, is it the usable length (i.e. half the length of the webbing if cut) or the full length (i.e. the circumference if layed out as a circle)?

strong and cheap

By:

very cheap and do their job well. thin enough they can easily be doubled and dont feel like a shoe string. great for use as anchors, as an alternative to a personal anchor system, or just a long quickdraw.

Here's the Beef

By:

These beefy slings are great for emergency ascending and those horrifying sharp edges. I keep a couple of two-footers on the rack just for such cases. They don't triple very well, but, hey, they sling over the shoulder just fine.

You can never have too many. They do what they're designed to do and are cheap enough to stock up on them.

add 2 'biners for a mountaineering quickdraw etc.

By:
October 7, 2008

In the mountains you won't necessarily know how far off your line the next anchor will be. Use runners with 2 carabiners as your quickdraws. Double or triple the 60cms on your rack, open em to get about 10, 15, or 30cm of reach, and be able to sling a chickenhead etc.. These are versatile, and cheap enough to leave one at the anchor. In a pinch you can cut a 60 and loop a tree with a water knot. A 60 makes a good shoulder sling, two 60s can make a shoulder harness, etc.. Buy a bunch.
Pair them with simple wire-gate oval carabiners for the most versatility year 'round.

Stout Runners

By:
February 27, 2009

I use these for anchoring and any other applications where longer slings are necessary(also work nicely as a light gear sling). Better than toting around old school wide tubular webbing and gives a little more sense of security than newer ultralight spectra slings. Good median and they still look really good after a good bit of use.

Reliable

By:
June 2, 2009

Great price. I do prefer the thinner sewn runners, which are much easier to clip, but these do the job for much less. I use these mainly to organize my gear, but they are quite versatile. As far as sewn runners go I like these and I think everyone should have a couple, especially for beginning trad. When climbing I don't notice the extra weight compared to the thin runners.

Longer Lasting than spectra/blends

By:
August 7, 2008

OK they take up a little more space and weigh a few more grams. Still lighter than knotted 1"!!!!!and cheap too.
Read up on spectra blend runners significant strength loss after 1 year. Check threads on
Supertaco.

Decent

Work just fine but a little bulkier than necessary. For the price though they're well worth it.

Good quality, too small though...

By:
June 17, 2009

Totally my fault, but i didn't realize how small these runners were. They are a bit bigger than wrist size. I like them anyway. Good quality and a good addition to my webbing gear.

Black Diamond Nylon Sewn Runners

These are good cheap runners. Nothing special about them, but they are solid and take abuse well. They work well in anchors systems, or to triple up to use as a runner in a quickdraw.
