A fantastic lightweight flat sling that is also affordable.

Unmatched Strength and Versatility

The Black Diamond Dynex Runner is crafted from high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber, offering one of the strongest and lightest slings available. At just 10mm wide and weighing only 20g, this runner provides exceptional strength-to-weight performance, making it ideal for challenging environments like the Himalayas, where every gram counts.

Effortless Knot Management

This thin and supple sling excels in knot management, particularly with the clove hitch, which remains easy to untie even after being weighted. Whether you're tackling trad climbing in India or ice climbing in Ladakh, this feature ensures reliable and manageable gear in the most demanding situations.

Superior Design and Low Bulk

The Dynex Runner's unique design includes a bar tack that’s about 25% longer than similar products like the Petzl Pur'Anneau Sling. While this may slightly affect its ability to triple up into an alpine quickdraw, it remains an outstanding low-bulk option. Its oval shape, with thicker Dynex fibers in the center and tapered Nylon edges, ensures a lower profile, making it perfect for extended use in the rugged terrains of the Himalayas.

Ideal Applications

Perfect for leading climbers, the Black Diamond Dynex Runner is an exceptional double-length sling. Its easy-to-untie knots after weighting make it highly suitable for building equalized anchors.
Lightweight, low-profile, and incredibly versatile, this runner is a top choice for serious climbers taking on the Himalayas and beyond.
