The Black Diamond Sewn Runners Spectra are ten times stronger than steel, the best you can buy.



Smaller, lighter ... better
In climbing, any time you can get away with making something smaller, do it. Such is the case with the new 12mm slings from BD. The size is noticeably different, and of course makes slinging a bunch of them over your shoulder, or racking several of them made into quickdraws much, much more manageable. Face it, you need to retire your old slings. Get some of these instead.


Sewn runners-better than tying knots
I was introduced to climbing by old school Welchmen who cragged with rocks in their pockets and hemp slings around their necks. After some time passed, I was shown the beauty of tubular webbing, waterknots and nuts, and when that time had passed I finally threw down for some sewn runners. The climbing community, myself included, has ventured far from what could be back in the day, but owning sewn runners is better than tying knots.
