BELAY CHAIN
The BELAY CHAIN provides more options,
better efficiency and individual loop strength
- for positioning yourself at the belay, while
ascending and also rappelling. Each BELAY CHAIN
has 6 interlocked loops and is 38" overall.
After two seasons experimentation and testing
by our climbing team, we have deduced that multiple
varied length loops provide superior versatility
and "fit" for all climbers - big or
small. Suit your preference and distance to loops
and clip in points by choosing one end (or the
other) to fine tune your rig, thereby positioning
your rappel device, ascenders or distance to your
anchor's master point for maximum ease and control.
A half twist is bar-tacked into each end loop
to streamline the BELAY CHAIN's girth hitch attachment
to your harness.
Note: Be sure to remain tied (to the rope) while
ascending and maintain at least two separate connections
to the rope while ascending or rappelling. While
using your BELAY CHAINS never climb above an anchor
or your attachment point and keep BELAY CHAIN
taut to limit forces in case of a slip. Aid climbers
will choose Nylon for more dynamic stretch. Racks
sweet too - loops nest within one another. Assorted
two color combos for "right" and "left"
use while ascending.
