Wild Country Rockcentrics: Flexible Not Stiff
In the end the Rockcentrics performed well. If I am carrying large hexes the Rockcentrics are my first choice. And in smaller, strangely shaped cracks the Rockcentrics definitely fit more easily than angular hexes. My complaint about the stiffness of the slings still stands. The trade-off with the smaller Rockcentrics versus wired hexes is strength, flexibility and weight at the cost of a couple inches of reach. But that is a trade-off that many climbers will be willing to make, especially if you want to supplement an existing rack or simply plan on using them in anchors.
Pros: curved sides make seating for placements more effective; lightweight; strong; inexpensive.
Cons: Dyneema slings are harder to place than wired hexes.
