Metolius: PAS (Personal Anchor System)
Our Price: $29.95
Description
This innovative device provides a safe, convenient and adjustable attachment from the climber to the anchor. The PAS is constructed from our 16 mm Dyneema and nylon webbing, which means a high-strength connection to the anchor while threading for the lower, setting up a rappel or belaying. The PAS SHOULD REPLACE THE DAISY CHAIN that many climbers wear affixed to their harnesses for free climbing. Daisy chains should NOT be used because they are only full-strength when loaded in their end loops (intermediate pockets are rated for body weight only). When not in use, just leave the PAS girth-hitched to your tie-in points, gather the extra loops and clip to the harness gear loop for compact storage. The PAS is available with or without the Element locking carabiner.
Features
- Stronger and SAFER than daisy chains--individual loops are full-strength (Daisy chains are only strong end-to-end. The individual pockets on a daisy chain are for bodyweight only)
- More convenient and adjustable than using slings or quickdraws at the anchor
- Stows compactly
- Constructed from our super-strong, 16mm Monster Sling webbing (27% Dyneema / 73% nylon)
- 2.9 oz. (82 g)
- Length: 42" (107cm)
- Strength: 4050 lbf (18 kN)
