Nylon Safe Chain PAS Sling

Seems like a solid piece for the rack, haven’t had a chance to test it out yet. I bought this as a standby, the Metolius I bought said it was rated at 22, but when it showed up the rating listed on the tag said 14kn and I’m sure it’s plenty strong enough, but I’ll take my chances with a higher test strength, when I’m hanging by a thread

distinctively different from a daisy-chain, much better.

Very handy to have on multi-pitched climbs.

Using this to prep for climbing Mount Rainier. It's a PAS, and a little bit longer than most. After attaching to the hard points in my harness I wrap it around my waist and attach the second to last loop to the furthest gear loop. Works fine, and too long is better than too short.

I have mostly Petzl, DMM, SMC, Black Diamond, Mammot, Climbing Technology, and ISC gear. From GM Climbing I have 3 hitch cords, a prussic loop, a large double sheave pulley with becket, and new short pieces of 8mm accessory cord. I was a little leery of GM just due to all of the counterfeiting out there but I have to say I cannot notice a difference between GM and everyone el on the things I have. This particular item seems to be of excellent quality so far. I recommend.

Will work

Excellent product at a cheaper price point. Easily just as good as other brands’ PAS. Used it several times cleaning top rope anchors outdoors. However, the locking caribeaner it comes with is suspiciously light. I’ve used it to belay a few times but it is a little small. May be good as a backup for some applications, but wouldn’t risk using it without redundancy. GM climbing is UIAA rated. They may be Chinese produced and cheaper in quality, but if you’re getting into climbing and need to save some money and need to buy gear to get out there, I recommend getting some periferary gear from them. Leave the life saving falling gear to the bigger names, upgrade your gear to the tried and true products when you have the funds.

My plan is to use it as a redirect anchor when in a tree canopy, have not had the opportunity to try it yet. But construction seems solid and very versatile
