Description

A must for alpine, ice, trad and multi-pitch climbers: The single-strand Alpine Trad Sling offers faster and therefore safer handling in comparison to traditional slings. You wear the Alpine Trad Sling across your chest like a normal round sling, but instead of pulling the sling over your head and arm, just unclip the carabiner and pull the sling from your body. The Alpine Trad Sling uses the same quantity of material as a round sling, but rather than being stitched into a closed ring, the single-strand construction has a stitched loop at each end to attach a carabiner. Intermediate belays can be quickly and easily shortened from 120 to 60 or 30 cm. The single strand construction reduces the risk of accidental unclipping. 100 % ultra lightweight dyneema material with the following advantages vs normal nylon: higher strength to weight ratio, absorbs less water and is more abrasion resistant. Weight 64 g (31 g sling & 33 g for the carabiner). 11 % weight saving compared to our lightest round sling 120 cm Contact Sling 8.0. The 120 cm length is including the Wall Key Lock bent gate carabiner.

Best double length runner

by Steve McGee on 11/12/2023
Pros
Tight hole for the bent gate - much easier to clip.
Loose hole for the other end - you can girth hitch, clip more than one biner, etc
Narrow, lightweight and not bulky
Easy to unsling - wear it over your shoulder, under pack straps and gear sling. Easy to unclip one end then pull it out and deploy.
Cons
All white - would be nice to spot it more easily in the snow
Only comes in a double length. I was several 60cm runners like this!
Bent gate biner not ideal - wire gate is what I want
Familiarity
I’ve used it a bunch

In my opinion this is an ideal setup for a double-length runner. I like firm holds on the clipping carabiner - I use Petzl Strings and rubber bands most of the time. A tightly sewn loop enables this. 

Having the other end looser makes girth hitching with the biner still attached possible. Also, it's easy to clip the loose end to a cam's racking biner or whatever. 

Easy to fold in half and clip both ends to the same carabiner, including around an icicle, horn or tree.
