Hi all,

What it says on the tin. Anyone used the Edelrid, HMPE Cord Sling, as abseil backup. Just replacing my ancient prusiks and was thinking of getting a couple of these instead of just using 6mm cord. Anyone got/used these, opinions welcomed.

Cheers,

Steve

Errrrrrr, no

Pointlessly expensive, although they are a lot softer than the good aramid versions 

Yes. I thought it shite - it seemed to have very little grip.

The longer shoulder length ones are great for threads though.

No use to man nor beast.  Beal Jammy aramid slings are very good though - designed for the purpose, heat resistant and full strength
