One of the lightest belay slings around.
Amazingly light and incredibly thin, 10mm Dyneema provides the 'cutting edge' to any rack where weight is at premium.
10mm x 240cm DYNEEMA SLING (open)
This new kid on the block, only released in 2004, moved the game on from the brilliant 12mm Dyneema - has managed to lose another 25% of its weight but still be reliable enough for the real hardcore climber.
The take up of these slings, received even more sceptically than 12mm due to its emaciated look, has been incredible. In a little under two years it is now selling 80% as much as 12mm dyneema, the market leader, something which was not anticipated at the time of its release.
What this seems to show is that climbers are willing to embrace new technology which is seen to give an instant and understandable advantage, and that weight is the area which everyone understands. Simply if your rack is lighter, and your gear is the same strength, it should be easier to climb better.
So weighing in at only 16gms a metre but still with 22kn 3 Sigma rated breaking strain, it's obvious we're looking at the lightweight champion.
Wild Country’s relationship with sewn materials is a long and illustrious one, beginning with the first harnesses built at the factory way back in 1978.
The introduction of hi-tech programmable bartacking machine reduced the ‘human error’ and allowed more and more technically difficult materials to be sewn.

Wild Country: At the Cutting Edge of Climbing
Wild Country have been at the cutting edge of climbing for 35 years.
Ever since the Friend was invented by U.S. climber Ray Jardine – who found a manufacturer in like-minded British-based enthusiast Mark Vallance – Wild Country have gone from strength to strength by creating the highest-quality rock climbing hardware on the planet.
Born in a tiny factory in the heart of the Peak district in 1977, Wild Country have been building their success on the back of the climbing world’s best Friend – shortly followed by their renowned Rock – ever since.
Their name is now synonymous with hard climbing, with higher safety margins and ease of placement top of their agenda.
Ray Jardine’s simple cam concept had been six years in the making before taking off on BBC’s Tomorrow’s World programme.
Just two years later they launched the Rock, the first ever curved nut which has become what is probably the best-selling piece of climbing equipment of all time.
The success of the Friend and the Rock has turned Wild Country into a legend, revolutionising the climbing world with a host of innovative ideas that have now become the industry standard.
