Rapid Links - Galvanized Steel
Rapid Links - Galvanized Steel
Genuine Maillons Rapides from France - with quality control and excellent workmanship! The standard for leaving as 'rings' on rappel anchors. Steel holds up to wet sandy ropes a whole lot better than aluminium. Discounted when buying 10 at a time. aka Rapid Link Rapide Quick Link Ring Q/RL RL
Prices up a LOT with “the modern world”. Moving steel from France to the USA has become expensive. Though I still take a short margin since RLs are left in place as a donation to the community.
6mm Galvanized Steel
A good size for bringing in canyons to leave on anchors, when using skinny ropes. About the same size as the 'Pacific Rim' 1/4" (6mm) ones. Not so good around fat ropes, so don't leave them in trade route canyons.
Weight: 34 grams or 1.2 ounces.
Safe Working Load: 400 kg
7mm Galvanized Steel
The 7mm is a great size - big enough to be convincing and OK with fat ropes, but small enough to be a reasonable weight to carry. Recommended!
Weight: 51 grams or 1.75 oz.
Safe Working Load: 550 kg
8mm Galvanized Steel
A good size for bringing in canyons to leave on anchors, especially trade routes and high-traffic areas.
Weight: 74 grams or 2.6 ounces.
Safe Working Load: 700 kg
