Very robust canyoning rope with twisted polyester sheath for maximum abrasion resistance. This rope retains its suppleness even with intensive use and many wet-dry cycles. Its neon-yellow color scheme ensures good visibility at all times. With a small diameter, the PINTAIL LITE is geared especially toward anyone who likes to travel light and flexibly.

Sold by the foot or in a 200ft length, please enter desired number of feet in "Quantity."

The longest continuous length we can cut is 200 feet

D-shaped chain shackle that we use in our break test machine.  This shape and this specific shackle can be pulled very close to it's MBS before permanent deformation occurs.  Bow shackles, if pulled close to their MBS, will deform and pulling the pin loose becomes difficult or impossible.  Chain shackles are our favorite when we plan on using and abusing break test equipment.

Climbing Taiwan's Notes: These G80 alloy steel shackles are our go-to when break-testing metal hardware, which otherwise would not be possible & sustainable if we used other steel connectors. "G80" is a high-strength, heat-treated alloy steel that is designed to withstand heavy loads and high stress. The manufacturer states their MBS as 4 times the rating. However in our usage and tests with them, we've far exceeded their working-load rating without any notable deformation of the pin or shackle. For example, the "2 Ton shackles" we've taken up to 60kN, the "3 Ton shackles" up to 90 kN, and they still perform fine throughout many additional tests. Of course we must disclaim: You accept your own responsibility for the use and misuse of the product. 

Here is a HUGE variety of button head soft shackles. Button heads achieve ~225% of the eye to eye strength of the material used.  These are made from Arete's SK75 HMPE.  Our pricing is simple.  It's $9 for any soft shackle + the material to make it.  It takes 4 x the open length in material to make a soft shackle.

Small = the smallest they can safely be made

Medium = 2 x the smallest length

Long = 3 x the smallest length

These are hand made!  There are variations in length and we have a chart to show you the range for each diameter & size.  Some soft shackles that you see online have chafe covers.  We've used soft shackles in extreme use for over a decade and don't find chafe covers to be worth the hassles of having a sock slipping around on your soft shackle.  If you need that for your application, we sell tubular webbing by the foot and chafe covers to be purchased separately. 

We have an ENTIRE PLAYLIST on YouTube about soft shackles and HMPE.

The 3" PMP " Prusik Minding Pulley" is the largest of three sizes of SMC PMP's and therefore handle the largest loads and toughest tasks. PMP’s feature a wide base design that maximizes the effectiveness of a Prusik hitch and are most often used as an integral piece of equipment in progress capture and hauling systems. PMP’s are especially versatile and may be used in many ways, from progress capture and hauling systems to crevasse rescue, high-lines and Tyrolean traverses.

The D-shaped top hole accepts up to 3 large rescue carabiners or multiple small carabiners and allows the carabiners to be rotated freely and completely through the hole. Side plates are precisely tensioned to aid one-handed use. Solid side plates also help to further reduce snagging. Sealed ball bearings provide optimal efficiency and reduce the performance-robbing resistance that is inherent in most multiple component systems and are not prone to failure under misaligned loads or with twisted gear that may occur with needle bearing.

The largest of SMC's Prusik Minding Pulleys (PMP), the 3" Single PMP is designed to handle the heaviest loads and toughest situations. The large D ring attachment point can fit 3 large rescue carabiners and still allow them to move freely. The solid side plates and sealed bearings prevent snagging or unnecessary resistance to ensure efficiency and avoid misalignment. This pulley is excellent for everything from progress capture in hauling, highlining, or rescue scenarios.

These are Climbing Taiwan's 304 and 316 Stainless Steel standard-size Quick Links available in 8mm (5/16") and 10mm (3/8"). They are all rated to 30 kN. 

Climbing Taiwan has tested the 316SS which you can see here. Updated test of 304SS with laser etching here.

HowNOT2 has also done some sample testing as well, and the samples broke above the stated MBS. 

The 8mm quick links will have an opening of 10mm. The 10mm quick links will have an opening range of 14-17mm. 

They are independently tested & rated by Climbing Taiwan; they are not 3rd party certified. If you required certified quick links (i.e. UIAA or EN), please take a look at some of our other quick links. 

Create your own 9:1 block and tackle using 4 SMC 3" PMP double pulleys (sold separately). Connect 2 pulleys together with the provided bolts, washers, and steel D-shackle to create the blocks. Each block is safely contained within its own protective 3D printed housing made out of flexible TPU with internal shock absorbing structure!
