Petzl Nitro Shock-Absorbing Sling - 2007
The Petzl Nitro Shock-Absorbing Sling reduces the force on rock and ice protection to increase the chance that your tied-off blade or crappy ice screw will hold a fall. Each Nitro Sling has releasable stitches that start tearing after an applied force of 2.5kN to lower the force applied to your protection. When the sling is completely ripped, it still holds a burly 22kN. The size 1 Nitro reduces impact up to 25%, the number 2 up to 40%, and the number 3 up to 50%. The more sketchy your pro is, the more energy reduction you need.
Bottom Line: Make sketchy gear a little safer with the Petzl Nitro Shock-Absorbing Sling.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
