Climbing sling Petzl C40A 150 — 150 cm red, 135 g

Petzl C40A 150 is a 150 cm red climbing sling made from durable webbing for connection and positioning in climbing and rope access systems. At 135 g it offers a balance of length and low weight suitable for use as an anchor extension, runner or personal tether. The sling's compact size and light mass make it practical for sport climbing, trad routes and rescue configurations where reliable webbing is required for securing gear, extending protection or creating temporary anchors.

Advantages

The Petzl C40A 150 sling provides consistent strength and abrasion resistance associated with quality webbing materials while remaining lightweight for long approaches and multi-pitch climbs. Its 150 cm length gives versatility for extending anchors, reducing rope drag and equalising protection points. The red colour improves visibility on rock and among other gear. The simple, single-loop construction allows quick clipping with carabiners and easy handling during transitions.

• Sport climbing — extending quickdraws and reducing rope drag
• Traditional climbing — equalising protection and extending placements
• Top-rope and multi-pitch setups — creating anchors and personal tether points
• Rescue and rope access — temporary anchors and positioning
• Mountaineering approaches — lightweight gear attachment

How to use

Use the sling as an extension between protection points and the climbing rope, or as part of an anchor system. Clip one or more locking or non-locking carabiners through the loop to connect to protection, bolts or anchors. When equalising multiple points, ensure even load distribution and avoid sharp edges that can damage webbing. Inspect the sling before each use for abrasion, cuts, or signs of degradation, and retire it if any damage is present. Do not tie knots in the sewn loop unless specified by the manufacturer.

Usage recommendations

Store the sling away from direct sunlight, chemicals and heat sources. Rinse with fresh water and air dry if exposed to dirt or salt. Follow manufacturer guidance for inspection intervals and replacement criteria; retire the sling after significant falls, visible wear, or any chemical exposure that could reduce strength.
