Product Description

A quick and easy solution for equalizing multiple anchor placements on long routes. Equalizes both two- and three-anchor placements.
Strong 12mm UltraTapeā„¢ offers a 25-kilonewton breaking strength.
While designed as a self-adjusting system, it can set as non-extending by clove-hitching at each protection point. Available in two lengths. 3-ft. length saves weight and bulk, and can be extended with runners or draws. 6-ft. length is ideal for most three-anchor set-ups.

Features

Weight 106 grams
Size (6 ft.) 1.8 meters
Strength 25 kilonewtons

Have abused the hell out of my first one. All raggedy thus replacing it when I noticed it is on sale at REI, March 9, at 41% off, $20. Big tool I use ice climbing and trad climbing. A must have.

I bought it because it was cheap and I was a little skeptical.I've now used it on rock, snow and ice and I am skeptical no more. Versatile, easy to use, quick as well as strong.It has taken its abuse well. Next time it's on sale, I'll grab another one.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
