Sling angle	16-Oct-2008 At 4:16:47 PM	davids

yes, I know about V angles and anchors/cordelettes - I'm wondering whether it applies to the a single sling that is passed round a rock, and then a biner for abseil/setup or quickdraw for leading placed on the sling, with the weight on the biner creating the V. is that clear?! It would seem that the v angle will always be nearly 180 degrees, and thus force magnified, when the sling is tightly round a large rock. Obviously a loose sling round a bollard or such runs the risk of being displaced, but is that better? maybe there is so much redunancy in sling ratings that the main point of the report is not to shockload.
