    Whoopie Question

    So I was going through my climbing equipment and I found a 20' spool of 5mm dyneema tech cord...would this work for whoopie slings?

    I dont think so. You need a single/hollow braid to make a whoopie sling.

    But to answer your question, yes. You can use the yellow poly rope from HD or lowes. As long as it a single/hollow braid, you can make a sling from it.

    You can also get amsteel (25ft) section from arrowhead for a good price. not sure if that yellow poly rope from Hd or lowes would hold in suspension that opie is talking about.
