    Comments about SMC Rigging/Descending Ring:

    I bought these rings to set up anchors and primitive friction locks for my slackline setup. They work perfectly until they start to get dents in them from putting tension on the line while they're in contact with the carabiners. An easy way to alleviate this problem a little is to take a spare inch-and-a-half of webbing and thread the carabiner through it and make sure it is always between the ring and biner. This wont' prevent dents, but it should prevent nicks. Then just make sure the dents are always lined up or at least not underneath the webbing where it could potentially fray and come apart under the tension caused by a slackline.

    I have set lines up to 45' with this setup.

      Comments about SMC Rigging/Descending Ring:

      Simple versatile piece of gear. Everyone that has a rope with them should cary this rigging ring. Its like duct tape for climbers. Combine with webbing or other gear to make whatever you need in a sticky situation.
