Copperhead Sizing

Here is a pic that will help you get an idea on what sizes copperheads come in from FISH.  The smallest is the #1, going up to the #5.  We also make a #6 which is the same components as the number 5, but with no crimp in the middle of the head.  This gives it a fatter body, much like the jump from the #3 to the #4.  We do not make the dreaded "#0", as even in a lab it will only hold about 225lbs.  When you hear about guys running out it out on a string of zeros, they are really on #1's 99.3% of the time.

Here is some more info about copperheads and rivet hangers from our catalog pages.

I also have some 2 year old mammut slings with light fuzzing, and some 5mm spectra cordalettes and at least as old spectra cam slings (5mm cord) - how about those?

The Mammut cord was pulled to 4200lbs and there was some fiber separation at the points where the biners were. Here are 2 pics:

The Mammut sling is rated to around 4800lbs.... survey says, bomber.
