MOUNTAIN TOOLS
DAISY CHAIN
The DAISY CHAIN is a big wall climbers’
secondary attachment point - for position and
convenience. Girth hitch into harness (at tie-in
point or belay loop) for an "unclippable"
attachment, then clip a locking carabiner into
end loop with bar-tacks - this is what you clip
to your anchor, ascender, etc. If you need to
clip in "short" (reduce the length of
the tensioned chain), clip a second locking
carabiner to a middle loop and then clip it to
the end biner. This biner-to-biner connection
is necessary to avoid total failure if the DAISY
CHAIN becomes twisted or torqued in a fall - and
is common to all "daisy" chains.
Remember it is always good practice to anchor
the climbing team with the rope, stay tied in
(to the rope) while ascending and always have
two separate connections to your anchor.
Choose 11/16" Nylon (slightly more dynamic
for aid climbing) or 12mm Ultratape for all around
use.
