Review 5 out of 5 stars

Review by: dredsovrn, 2005-03-17


I used mine for the first time in Potrero. I will definitely make regular use of it on trad as well. While it lacks some of the versatility of traditional slings, it is full strength at every loop and therefore more useful than a daisy. It is bulkier than a daisy, but I didn't find this to be a problem. Hard to beat for a single piece that will handle all of your personal anchoring needs.

My partner and I bought the PAS to try and speed up trad multipitch. It’s been great for that purpose. At the end of the pitch I clip a piece and call off belay. My second starts to break down while I build the new anchor. Once built, I tie in to the power point and clip the PAS as backup. The second arrives at the belay and clips the powerpoint with the their PAS. It reduces the clusterf**k.. It keeps everything neat and tidy and easy to inspect. To me that’s safer. As a rappel cling it allows you to stay clipped to the anchor while setting up the rappel device on the nearest loop. Then unclip the far loop from the anchor and rap. You’re always on the anchor. Very neat and clean. Don’t know what we did without it. And since it’s full strength, it’s much better than using a daisy. I got mine for $25 sans the locking biner at Rock & Snow at the Gunks.
