DMM Pro Wire Quick Draw 12cm Set of 5

Price: £45.00 (Including VAT at 17.5%)

Quantity:

The original lightweight biner stays in our range by popular demand.

Hot forged from 7000 series alloy the Prowire headed up the DMM range only a few years ago The 36g weight was revolutionary at the time for a full size carabiner and even now the Prowire is a lot lighter than most of the competition.

The custom wire gate is curved to give a constant tension for ease of clipping and increased long-term safety. The tip of the wire is also bent so that it pulls into the nose when loaded in order to minimise the chance of the biner being loaded in the gate open position.

The nose is shrouded to minimise the chance of the gate being opened accidentally and the biner incorporates a rope groove so that loads are pulled into the spine of the biner.

Cordelette
A huge and hugely useful sling

In the mountains or simply out cragging, setting a simple, secure belay that is quick to tension and equalise against relevant forces, is definitely an art and unfortunately these skills are never the quickest to acquire.

However, help is at hand in the form of this huge and hugely useful sling, the Cordelette, which makes perfect use of our thin and light 10mm Dyneema to provide a great aid to the process of setting an equalised belay.

Compact enough to carry easily clipped to a screwgate, the Cordelette is a very simple way of safely equalising any belay and makes equalising quicker and easier.

Essentially the 4 metre / 17ft Cordellette should be long enough in most circumstances to clip through multiple anchor points and still allow an overhand knot to be used to equalise the pieces whilst allowing the belayer to clip the knot. Karabiner not included.

How to use a cordelette

Cordelette Instructions

Using the Cordelette is a fairly simple affair - it's essentially a big sling - but for belaying an effective method is shown in the pictures above.

1. Clip the Cordelette through multiple anchor points.

2. Gather the sections which are between the anchors and pull towards you until they are of equal length.

3. Tie into a simple overhand knot and then clip a screwgate into this and connect to your harness.

So for a measly 168 grams or the weight of two very light Qds this awesome sling should save you time and effort in the hills.
