Climbing gear designed to create reliable, low-weight anchor points for climbers and tree workers, NewDoar Climbing Sling. Pocketable size and low water uptake make long routes and wet conditions easier to manage. Will the dyneema construction and tested breaking strength match real-world demands?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Breaking Strength: Tested to a minimum 22 kN maximum breaking force
- • Best for: Creating anchors, tree work, rigging, top-rope and rappel setups
- • Not ideal for: Applications that specifically require sewn-loop webbing or wider slings
Dyneema webbing gives a high strength-to-weight ratio and resists water absorption. Available in three lengths with a compact 10 mm width suitable for carrying in a pocket.
Ultra-light portability - thanks to 10 mm Dyneema construction
Dyneema is a high-strength polymer with very low density, allowing narrow webbing to meet high load ratings. At 10 mm width and 3 mm thickness the sling remains compact while maintaining tensile capacity.
Easy to stash in a harness pocket or rucksack, reducing bulk on long approaches and multi-pitch routes.
High-strength anchor points - with tested 22 kN breaking force
Each sling has undergone a maximum breaking force test achieving at least 22 kN, reflecting tensile strength suitable for common climbing anchor loads. Knot length of around 7 cm reduces usable loop length, which should be accounted for when rigging.
Reliable for building top-rope anchors and supporting rigging where a strong, slim runner is needed.
Low water uptake and abrasion resistance - thanks to Dyneema fibres
Dyneema fibres absorb very little water and offer greater abrasion resistance than typical nylon webbing, helping the sling retain strength and remain lightweight in wet or icy conditions.
Suitable for ice climbing and tree work where wet conditions and abrasion from rigging points are common.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for NewDoar Climbing Sling
- Multiple lengths available - Choose 30 cm, 60 cm or 120 cm to match anchor setups precisely
- Pocketable 10 mm width - Stows easily without adding bulk on long routes
- Low water absorption - Keeps weight down during wet or icy climbs
- Abrasion-resistant Dyneema - Longer service life under rope and hardware friction

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What lengths are available for the sling?
A: Lengths offered are 30 cm, 60 cm and 120 cm, and knot length of about 7 cm should be deducted from usable loop length.
Q: What breaking strength can be expected?
A: The sling has a maximum breaking force test result of at least 22 kN.
Q: Is the sling suitable for wet or icy conditions?
A: Dyneema hardly absorbs water and has good abrasion resistance, making the sling well suited to wet and icy conditions such as ice climbing and tree work.
🏆 Our Verdict
The NewDoar Climbing Sling is best suited for climbers, arborists and riggers who need lightweight, strong runners for anchors and rigging. High-strength Dyneema construction and minimal water uptake deliver compact, durable slings for wet and technical environments. While sewn slings may be preferred where specific certifications are required, these slings offer clear long-term value through reduced weight and improved abrasion resistance.
