Рет қаралды 4,967
Күн бұрынI review the Black Diamond Slinger Ice Axe leash in this video. You get to see how it fits, how it works, the danger of using a harness-attached ice axe leash, and the values of this.
You will have an understanding of the size, weight, how the leash works, and the mechanics of the attached carabiner.

Once on a Mexican volcano climbing trip I met a climber recuperating from a long tumbling fall down a snow slope. He was a wrist loop user and his hand had slipped through when he first attempted self-arrest with his axe. He would fortunately recover but he was a human abrasion recuperating in a rural village with limited medical help. I will always attach my ice axe to my harness (also allows switching hands easily). As for this product (I own one but I can't remember why), for less expense one can DIY a load-rated leash with elastic feature if desired. An axe with a load-capable leash can be a useful snow/ice anchor in many situations.

The danger I've had it having the axe come back at my face.

Hi, I appreciate this it an old video but I didn't understand the explanation for loop through the axe (no clatter) vs. crab through the axe (clatter)... could you elaborate please?

Hi, I didn’t really understand the explanation of why you don’t want to use the loop to attach to the bottom ice axe. Can you elaborate?
@ALinsdau Жыл бұрын
The pivot point you hold the ice axe on is the head. A short leash attached to the bottom could prevent you from using the axe in the arrest position.

When summiting in a group isn’t more recommended to not have a leash on the ice axe? I have heard statistics say there are more accident due to having a leash than not.
@ALinsdau 2 жыл бұрын
Definitely a your mileage may vary application. I'd always prefer to have some sort of leash. Some guide services require a harness leashed ice axe.
@Smashycrashy Жыл бұрын
So the ropes I see attached between ice axes and climbing harnesses are simply leashing. They won't ever use the harness/rope/axe as a way of staying in a position or some other reason?
@ALinsdau Жыл бұрын
Correct, they're only meant to prevent losing your axe, not as a life-support line.
@Smashycrashy Жыл бұрын
@@ALinsdau I appreciate the response, i was curious because in the local So Cal mountains you always see lots of people with full rope through harness to axe. Is there another reason to have a harness on during relatively minor ascents?
@GetUpTheMountains Жыл бұрын
Hi Aaron. If one isn't wearing a harness, is it recommended that one could loop the Slinger around their pack's hip belt instead? We're not hanging off this leash via the harness, so it seems equally appropriate to attach it to one's pack's hip belt as a way to secure your ice axe to your person in case of dropping it.
@ALinsdau Жыл бұрын
Not a bad idea. I'd clip it to my dominant hand shoulder strap so the clip didn't interfere with the big backpack belt.

@@ALinsdau Excellent idea! I'll give both methods a try on the mountains and report back shortly. Thanks for your swift reply!

@@silvermediastudio Hey. Yeah it worked a charm. Length and Bungeeness of this leash keeps it from flopping all over, and it never really got in my way. Never dropped the axe, but was glad for the insurance of knowing it wont slide away. Its most definitely legit. Enjoy your hike and stay safe. 🏔
