Runners & top rope stuff
Sewn runners are lighter, stronger, less bulky and more foolproof than knotted slings. For virtually every route you will do, some slings are mandatory. As a rule always take more slings than you think you might need. Rope drag sucks. All of our slings are made from Mil-Spec / Climb-Spec tubular nylon webbing and sport a full 8 or more bartacks per bond for exceptional strength. Colors are mixed, but we do take suggestions.
OPEN SLINGS: (available in 1" webbing or 5/8" webbing)
These are the standard slings for everyday use. A "full length runner" as it is called would be a 24" loop. The 4" size is usually used for quickdraws, and the middle sizes can be looped back on themselves to make quicks that can give you a bit more length when needed.
4" - $2.50 each
8" - $2.75 each
12" - $3.25 each
24" - $3.75 each
48" - $5.25 each
6 PACK OF SLINGS:
Six 24" open slings in the color of the day made from 9/16" ClimbSpec nylon webbing. This month they are all Royal Blue. Stock up now!
$20.00 per set of 6.
RAGE CLIPS:
This is a 4" Quickdraw with a solid body design to keep your biners from flopping around. Ideal for the daily grind of clipping up Sport Routes and the like.
$2.50 each
TWISTED RAGE CLIPS:
This is the same style as the Rage Clip but features a full twist sewn into the loop. Having this twist in the sling makes the biner you are trying to clip hang oriented, that is with the gate facing out, when clipped through a bolt. This feature comes in real handy on the overhanging desperates, where every second counts, and a missed clip could mean a run in your Lycra.
$2.50 each
Note: like duh... the biners shown on all the clips in the photo ain't included.
Sling Tips: When using Rage or T-Rage clips, always keep the bartacks facing away from the wall after clipping. This ensures a longer life for you and the sling, due to the effects of the sling grating on the wall during falls. Always check your. slings before each use, and during use if you are logging mucho flight time. When in doubt, renew it. It is way dumb to die because a two dollar piece of webbing failed.
FISH-O-LET ANCHOR:
A nice way to tie up the modern sport anchor. Doubles as an over-the-shoulder runner or can be carried like a quick draw. 5/8" tubular nylon webbing with two loops bartacked into each end. Simply clip each loop into the bolts, even out the strands and tie a figure 8 knot. Fast, easy and bomber. Overall length is about 5ft 6 inches.
$8.50 each
TOP-O-LET!:
After clipping too many bolts this last year, I decided to shorten the standard Fish-O-Let and make it more robust. The new Top-O-Let is made from 1" tubular nylon (versus 5/8" on the Fish-O-Let) and is the perfect length for clipping the anchors on the standard sport route. There is room for adjustment, but you don't look like a total n00b carrying a 30ft hank of webbing just to clip two bolts. A simple overhand knot is easy to release after loading and the four total strands of 1" webbing between the bolts and the lowering point give a wide safety margin from abrasion or cutting. Overall length is about 43".
Intro price is $9.50 each (biners not included)
9/16" SUPER TIE-OFF WEBBING:
This 9/16" Tie-Off web is thin enough to thread through the eye of pitons easily or behind a truly dicey pin that is hanging out a mile. Don't mistake this with the lighter duty 1/2" Tie Off Webbing sold elsewhere. Our Super Tie Off web is 50% stronger than the 1/2" variety. Also note, this is not that thick 9/16" SuperTape webbing that is normally too thick to use as tieoffs. 50 feet per pack, natural color. A standard tieoff takes 2feet. A loop of this tied with a water knot will break at about 2600lbs +/-.
$14.00 each
1" TUBULAR WEBBING:
Tie your own runners, bail out of a tree, set up a slackline, lash some swag down on your boat. Tons of uses. This is the 1" tubular nylon webbing to use. Assorted colors. Comes in 50 foot lengths. Need some longer? Email us.
$17.00 for 50 ft.
GRAIN TAMER:
The Grain Tamer is an edge protector that secures itself around the rope used in a toprope anchor. This little device reduces the chance of not only rope wear, but heads popping off due to rope failure. The business section of the Grain Tamer is the same White Vinyl we use on our haul bags, but double thickness. Each edge has a Velcro strip to secure the guard around your rope as if it was the filling in a Taquito. To keep the Tamer in place, each end has a Fastex clip attached to a prussik. Simply loop the prussik around your cord and clip it to the Tamer, no slips, no mistakes, and more importantly, no escaped heads. The Grain Tamer is big enough to use around 11mm ropes, including the knot. Overall length runs about 24". This is a must have item in every topropers arsenal.
