Stitching on daisy's pulling through
|
So I was doing some jugging practice and noticed that the bartack in the pocket of the daisy that I'm weighting when doing overhanging technique is starting to "pull through." I know it's not actually pulling through but I can't think of how else to describe it. |

Ditch the traditional daisy and get these. problem solved |
|
It's not the miss clipping that I'm worried about or asking about. I know about that, and I use 2 biners on my daisy setup. |

The Cassin daisy is slick. I will keep my old stuff but if I were buying new gear would buy these. |

"Each loop has around 3kN of strength versus the full chain rated to about 22kN. Daisies are designed specifically for aid climbing, not personal anchors." |

The twist daisy or the sterling chain reactor seem to be the acceptable piece of equipment to use in your instance chain reactor link campsaver.com/chain-reactor…Huh? |

I picked up the twisted daisy's a few months ago and they are awesome. I use them for climbing and rigging and could not ask for better. |

I am totally off ignore my comment sorry. I did not realize jugging was an aid climbing term, I thought he was talking about practicing some kind of bouldering on jug holds and then relying on the daisy to support him in between tries. |

In my experience. That is completely normal. I have the exact same daisy chains. I weight 205. They all look like the weighted example you showed. I have used them for over a year now on 3-4 big wall climbs. Even if they tear it isn't going to matter as long as you are using them correctly. |

I'm with whynot7 - that's what my daisies look like after a handful of walls, and I'm pretty sure it's totally normal and expected. Sure, keep an eye on them but I bet they're working as designed and you'll get a bunch of mileage out of them. |
