Webbing

Nylon webbing is a versatile component of rock climbing equipment. Webbing appears as flat rope, that is rope without a core. Modern webbing is often made from exceptionally high-strength material.

Typically tied or sewn into a loop and known as a runner or sling, webbing has many uses, including:

• Emergency, or makeshift harness.
• Anchor extension or equalisation.
• Gear sling, for organising or carrying equipment.
• In quickdraws.
