Hi,
I can't find anyone selling these in the UK. Anyone got any ideas, thanks.

I went for the Sterling Ropes Chain Reactor as I preferred nylon to Dyneema or a mixture. The bonus in that choice was it's only £25 and readily available. Look here if you're interested in it:

Grivel also do one. Unfortunately they decided to call it a Daisy Chain so everyone jumps in and says that you can't use them for belaying etc.

I was told these haven't been CE rated so they can't be sold in Europe. I do have a set though, much better than a normal Dyneema daisy and better than the Grivel daisy chain too.

The Metolious is the only daisy rated as a sling and certified to CE/UIAA.
Bergzeit.de have them here in Germany.

The Metrolius Ultimate has more pockets. (The name also matches with Realised Ultimate Banshee Belay)

Try Banana Fingers. Got mine from them. A fantastic bit of kit. Use it loads as protection when working setting up at the top of crags. Great cow tail.

Grivel one is longer and less bulky. Also has a krab keeper at the sharp end.
Much nicer to use.

Thanks, but I think that's the PAS not the Ultimate.

Fair enough. I find i need to add a quick draw to get the length tho, doesnt give full reach like a true daisy.

I think that there is only a 6cm difference between the Grival and the Ultimate (the PAS is shorter). Or did you mean between the Grival and a normal daisy?

Ta.
