Edelrid Dyneema Sling Runners - 8 mm

Edelrid Dyneema Sling Runners - 8 mm

The Edelrid Dyneema Sling Runners - 8 mm is a sewn Dyneema sling rated to 22 kN. The tape is just 8 mm (0.3 in) wide. That strength-to-bulk ratio is why Dyneema took over the rack. A full set takes up a fraction of the space nylon runners do.

Features and Benefits

The Edelrid Dyneema Sling Runners - 8 mm (0.3 in) width is what you notice first. Racked over a shoulder, a set of these sits flat. There is no bundle to catch on every move. Extending a runner no longer means wrestling a handful of webbing.

Additionally, the material is bio-based Dyneema. It carries the same 22 kN minimum breaking strength and the same EN 566 certification as the standard version. The difference is a lower carbon footprint behind it.

Moreover, Dyneema handles differently from nylon and it is worth knowing how. It has very little stretch. It does not absorb energy in a fall the way nylon does. Never use it to take a shock load directly. Keep it for extending placements and building anchors, which is what it is good at.

Product-Specific Use Cases

Long approaches in the Hajar Mountains make bulk expensive. Cutting the rack down without cutting the strength is worth real effort. Carry these for extending gear on the wandering trad lines around Wadi Bih. They also work for equalising anchors, and as alpine draws where rope drag is worse than the climbing.
