A must for alpine, ice, trad and multi-pitch climbers, the single-strand Alpine Trad Sling is a 120cm equivalent "snake" sling that is faster to deploy and less likely to get in a tangle than a normal sling. Instead of pulling it over your head and arm, you simply unclip the karabiner 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 loop at each end to attach a karabiner to. Intermediate belays can be quickly and easily shortened from 120cm to 60cm or 30 cm. Being made of ultra-light Dyneema material means it has the following advantages in comparison with regular nylon: higher strength/weight ratio, reduced water absorption and greater abrasion resistance. It is also 11% lighter than the equivalent Mammut 8mm 120cm Contact Sling.
