Mountaineering, multipitch. |
At a stance, it is common to climb above the anchors to clip the first runner whilst still connected with a cow's tail. In these circumstances a factor 2 fall onto the belay can be produced. This is why your connection to the belay must always be dynamic. In this situation, never use a sling - especially not one made from Dyneema - as there is a significant risk of an anchor point being ripped out or the sling breaking.
BEAL's solution is to manufacture lanyards with sewn terminations from dynamic rope, to absorb the energy produced by a fall and also to facilitate rope management at the belay.
