Climbing Slings & Webbing
Strong & Reliable Climbing Slings & Webbing
Climbing slings and webbing are essential for building anchors, extending protection, and rigging systems in both recreational and professional climbing. At The Outdoor Warehouse, we carry nylon slings, Dyneema® runners, and tubular webbing trusted by climbers, mountaineers, and rescue professionals. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, slings and webbing are the backbone of safe, versatile climbing systems.
Also known as sewn slings, climbing runners, alpine draws, and webbing slings.
Why Slings & Webbing Matter
- Anchors: Build secure trad and top-rope anchors with confidence.
- Extension: Reduce rope drag with extended placements and alpine draws.
- Rigging: Perfect for hauling, equalizing, or multi-point anchors.
- Rescue: NFPA-rated webbing trusted for rope rescue and rope access.
Types of Climbing Slings & Webbing
Nylon Slings: Affordable and durable, with a touch of stretch for shock absorption.
Dyneema® Slings: Ultralight and compact, ideal for alpine and long trad climbs. Less heat-resistant than nylon.
Tubular Webbing: Cut-to-length, versatile, and knot-friendly for custom anchors or rescue rigging.
Sewn Runners: Pre-sewn loops in standard lengths (30–240cm) for quickdraws, anchors, and rappels.

Slings & Webbing Checklist
- ✔ Inspect for cuts, fraying, or sun damage before every climb.
- ✔ Retire after severe falls or 3–5 years of use.
- ✔ Carry multiple lengths (60, 120, 240cm) for anchors and extensions.
- ✔ Use Dyneema® for weight savings, nylon for abrasion resistance.
- ✔ Seal custom-cut webbing ends to prevent fraying.
Pro Tip
Turn a 60cm Dyneema sling + 2 wiregate carabiners into an alpine quickdraw. It reduces rope drag and adapts easily to wandering trad routes.
Seasonal Reminder
At the start of each climbing season, inspect your slings & webbing for UV damage, fuzzing, and abrasion. Retire anything questionable — webbing is affordable, but your safety is priceless.
