Grivel Daisy Chain

[dgcunningham]

Hi guys,

 

anyone had a chance to use the Grivel Daisy Chain?

 

Accessories - Daisy chain

 

Been thinking of buying one of late to use as a versatile multisaver. Can think of a few applications - retrievable redirect (2 revolver and shackle), multisaver and a means of distancing harness from hitch for advancement. The new Grivel Daisy Chain has each link rated at 23kn, unlike previous daisy chains which are rated at 2 kn. At about £35 it seems like a cheaper alternative as i have yet to master the black art of splicing!

 

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

 

Dave.

I can see what it's uses would be but it would be awkward to fold up and hang on your harness in such a way that it would not snag on everything as you're climbing around.

Nice idea but SRT minimises gear!

I use the other style with sewn in pockets rather than individual loops. The pockets on mine are 5kn but the whole things is rated at 22Kn so if the pockets ripped you would still be in a 22kn loop. It is quite a handy thing for all the things yhou mentioned but I dont think I like that grivel one TBH, looks tricky to store on a harness.

You might as well buy a few 20 or 30cm slings and larksfoot them together.... much cheaper, and you can make it up to whatever length you want.

Cheers for the info guys, much appreciated. Good point about the Grivel daisy chain potentially snagging on every tree protrusive i pass. Even better point being able to larks foot my own daisy chain, then if its crap, at least i can use the slings.

 

Cheers. D
