Cordelette

A huge and hugely useful sling

 

In the mountains or simply out cragging, setting a simple, secure belay that is quick to tension and equalise against relevant forces, is definitely an art and unfortunately these skills are never the quickest to acquire.

However, help is at hand in the form of this huge and hugely useful sling, the Cordelette, which makes perfect use of our thin and light 10mm Dyneema to provide a great aid to the process of setting an equalised belay.

Compact enough to carry easily clipped to a screwgate, the Cordelette is a very simple way of safely equalising any belay and makes equalising quicker and easier.

Essentially the 4 metre / 17ft Cordellette should be long enough in most circumstances to clip through multiple anchor points and still allow an overhand knot to be used to equalise the pieces whilst allowing the belayer to clip the knot.

 

Cordellette instructions

 

Cordelette Instructions

 

Using the Cordelette is a fairly simple affair - it's essentially a big sling - but for belaying an effective method is shown in the pictures above.

1. Clip the Cordelette through multiple anchor points.

2. Gather the sections which are between the anchors and pull towards you until they are of equal length.

3. Tie into a simple overhand knot and then clip a screwgate into this and connect to your harness.

So for a measly 168 grams or the weight of two very light Qds this awesome sling should save you time and effort in the hills.

When not in use the Cordelette is stored easily on the back of the harness by simply using an overhand knot and a spare biner...might be best to keep it an an extra screwgate...
