Cam Sling Replacement Beta Request

[haireball]

I re-sling my own, tieing the slings with a double-fishermans ("grapevine") knot. I haven't had a runner fail in 35 years of climbing.

[tomrogers]

where can one go to have slings replaced for camming units in the Greater Seattle region?

 

Costs, Quality control?

metoulis bend, or

 

on-site squish canyuckada

 

tying your own seems fine....but the diff colors corresponding to the size is nice

 

either way

Mountain Tools Resling Service will do them for you.

If you get On-Sight to do them drop them off at either Valhalla Pure outfitters, or Climb On Equipment. OS don't like direct business and they don't like to do metolius either.

Update: Onsight in Squamish is no longer reslinging cams

Yates gear. Got 'em back to me in 3-4 days, you chose the color, material, shipping cost more than the replacement.

How much was the shipping?

 

I've got two cams I'd like to get reslung; anybody else in Seattle have some? Perhaps we could combine our orders to save on shipping?

It wasn't that much, I just got insurance on it.
