Edelrid Aramid Cord Sling 6 mm

Edelrid Aramid Cord Sling 6 mm

The Edelrid Aramid Cord Sling 6 mm packs a 22 kN minimum breaking strength into a cord thin enough to thread almost anywhere. Aramid fibre carries far more load per millimetre than standard polyamide. That is why a 6 mm (0.2 in) sewn round sling can be rated this high. Edelrid makes it in Germany.

Features and Benefits

The Edelrid Aramid Cord Sling 6 mm is doing the heavy lifting. Aramid resists cutting and abrasion better than nylon of the same diameter. The cord holds up where it runs over a rock edge or a sharp thread rather than over a smooth bar.

Additionally, the cord is deliberately stiff. A limp sling collapses the moment you try to feed it through a hourglass or a drilled thread, while this one holds its shape and pushes through, which is the difference between placing the anchor and walking away from it.

Moreover, it is a sewn round sling rather than a knotted loop. There is no barrel knot to inspect, no tail to creep, and no loss of strength from a knot you tied in a hurry. Edelrid certifies it to EN 354, EN 566 and the UIAA standard.

Product-Specific Use Cases

Threads and hourglasses are the everyday anchor on the limestone in the Hajar Mountains. A stiff cord is worth more there than another quickdraw. Carry one for the natural placements around Wadi Bih and Hatta, and keep a spare on the harness for rigging a rappel off a bollard when the bolts run out.
