A climbing anchor equalized using dyneema slings. A sling or runner is an item of climbing equipment consisting of a tied or sewn loop of webbing. These can be wrapped around sections of rock, hitched to other pieces of equipment, or tied directly to a tensioned line using a Prusik style knot. They may be used as anchors, to extend an anchor to ...
A sling or Prusik-dedicated sewn loop can also be used. A short piece of rope spliced to form a circle is called a becket. [5] Note that Dyneema/Spectra has a very low melting point and should not be used in Prusik hitches unless the cord or sling is specifically engineered for it (as seen in some sheathed constructions). The length of this ...
Dyneema Composite Fabric. Dyneema Composite Fabric (DCF), also known as Cuben Fiber (CTF3), is a high-performance non-woven composite material used in high-strength, low-weight applications. It is constructed from a thin sheet of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, "Dyneema") laminated between two sheets of polyester. [1][2]
Constrictor knot. The constrictor knot is one of the most effective binding knots. [1][2][3][4] Simple and secure, it is a harsh knot that can be difficult or impossible to untie once tightened. It is made similarly to a clove hitch but with one end passed under the other, forming an overhand knot under a riding turn.
Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, UHMW) is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. Also known as high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE), it has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 3.5 and 7.5 million amu. [1] The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening ...
"I'll be honest, I'd tell him to retire. It's not worth it," Pierce said. Tagovailoa, who had two diagnosed concussions in the 2022 season, said last spring that he considered retiring as a result ...
He was laying on a stuffie, just hanging about. "This is Molé, the orphaned baby sloth and we're about to take him outside because it's very important that he get his daily dose of vitamin D ...
This technique is mostly used for Dyneema ropes. [8] The principle of a Dyneema eye is a core-to-core splice, in which a length of at least 60 times the diameter of the rope is taken back into itself. DSM advises using 60 times the diameter for coated Dyneema, and 100 times the diameter for uncoated Dyneema. For 6mm coated rope, this would mean ...
