Sling vs belay loop  

Would be interesting to see it through the hard points as well. And as always, keep it up. You’re educating and inspiring literally generations of climbers and alpinists

I could literally watch this all day

Should cycle the girth hitch on different points on the belay loop up to like 6-8 kn, and see if repeated use is weakening the belay loop. Jugging and rappelling could be death by a thousand cuts

I usually clip in around the bottom and top of my harness and avoid the belay loop. I never have had a lot of trust in that loop.

I use a double fishermen knit in a thick rope as a second belay loop and the same goes for friends and stoppers. Here I use thinner chords. Not paying anyone to re-sling my gear.

Dyneema girth hitch material vs the nylon?

Wonder how a nylon sling of 18mm width would go in same test? Is the above result enough to say nylon only girthed to belay loop… or although under 15kn break it’s super good enough in dyneema?

Cool to see the song scissor through that belay loop! Wonder if the result changes if it's dressed like a square knot instead...🧐

would it do the same to the waist loop and leg loop?

what if using a nylon sling instead of a dyneema sling as personal anchor?

Belay loop proof load is 15 kN

Always 👏 girth 👏 PAS 👏 through both hardpoints 👏

But still a concer or mis interpretation to use a dynema PAS and think it can handle a factor 3 fall or shock absorb your fall 💀

Sooo carabiner instead

Why ill gorth hitch thru both leg and wiast loop
