Comments about Metolius Personal Anchor System:
This is a must have for anyone who climbs outdoor. You simply girth hitch it to your belay loop and anchor yourself down. This is much better than daisy chains as daisy chains are only meant to take body weight and are not full strenght everywhere in the chain. Metolius PAS is full strenght everywhere!
Pros
- Durable
- Good UV resistance
- Lightweight
- Strong
Cons
- Can get tangled
Best Uses

Comments about Metolius Personal Anchor System:
...This baby should be a staple of any multipitch traddies rack. I love em...too bad my seconds wont fork up their money and buy thier own! They always want to use mine! The only pseudo downfall is that if you carry a fuller rack (like I do sometimes) it can get tangled on the gear...but this is not the products fault...more my nasty racking skills. Buy one today!!!

Comments about Metolius Personal Anchor System:
The thing that I don't like about regular daisy chains is that if you are on the bar-tacks its only rated for bodyweight (1 to 2 kilonewtons with 1 Kn being approx. 225 lbs) so if you were to shock load it they could fail and we all know what that could mean! This device, on the other hand is an actual chain of individual slings so it is full strength (18 kilonewtons which is 4,050 lbs) anywhere you clip it. Paranoid bar tack blowing visions are all gone! :)

Comments about Metolius Personal Anchor System:
This is a great piece of gear. It is simple and foolproof. If it is, at any point, clipped to both you and the anchor you are safe. Length can be adjusted without coming off the anchor. It is also nice and light.

Comments about Metolius Personal Anchor System:
this is strong, the only thing that i don't like is the spectra is only good for one shock load. has a weak point but its an awesome piece to have on your harness. everyone should have one! perfect for rappelling.

Best Uses

Comments about Metolius Personal Anchor System:
The PAS is great! I tried one, and now everyone I climb with has picked one up. Great for threading your rope at the top of a sport route, drilling anchors, or cleaning. I love that it is full strength no matter where I clip in! You can't loose!

Comments about Metolius Personal Anchor System:
This is a great tool for the multipitch trad climber. With this device, you always have a non-rope-based anchor connection.
The full strength loops allow you to use this device simultaneously for hanging from an anchor, while using it to construct a rappel extension. Choke up on the rap device, release the end of the PAS from the anchor, it couldn't be simpler.
Also useful for adjusting connections to an anchor (if necessary).
Lightweight, and racks easily out of the way to the back of the harness. I take it with me on every trad climb.

Comments about Metolius Personal Anchor System:
A truly awesome device. Unlike a daisy chain, the P.A.S. can be used as two anchor points, so it cuts down on equipment. Great for quickly slinging into a wall, cleaning a route, or anchoring a belayer. I carry one on my harness at all times. Highly reccommeend!

Comments about Metolius Personal Anchor System:
Whether you're leading or cleaning, the PAS is one thing that should always be attached to your harness. It makes it super easy for you to clip into an anchor and adjust the distance. I like how each loop is a full-strength sling - gives me extra peace of mind.
