Knots on Dyneema slings

Postby Stan » Tue Nov 16, 2010 10:37 pm

Just stumbled upon this: http://www.dmmclimbing.com/news.asp?nid=293&ngroup=1

Long story short:
a) do not tie knots on Dyneema
b) clipping into anchors with static slings is dangerous: even a short fall with FF1 on a 60 cm sling generates enough force to break an accidentally cross-loaded biner (see table below)
