| | Rock Climbing Forums: Climbing Information: Gear Heads: 6mm Mammut Dyneema on mgear |
 | | I got the new Mountain Gear catalog yesterday, and aside from a bunch of new cool approach shoes and C3's, they had the new 6mm Mammut dyneema slings, with the same 22kN rating as the 8mm slings. |
 | | I do agree that 8mm and 6mm dyneema shouldn't usually be used for slinging trees and horns, because the smaller surface area creates higher pressures and there is a greater risk for slicing the sling on something sharp. |
 | | Also, while in theory I like the idea of a dyneema harness with dyneema belay loop, I think belay loops should be more beefy because of all the abuse they take. |
