The G-SCREAMER is a compact and lightweight HMPE (High Modulus Polyethylen) sling with an integrated compact tear-web energy absorber that can provide an additional safety margin in alpine terrain, on big walls, or during ice climbing. With a length of 15 cm, it is used like a quickdraw between two carabiners and serves as a piece of intermediate protection at questionable anchor points and/or where protection spacing is large, helping to keep the load on the anchor point as low as possible. In the event of a fall, the tear-web energy absorber deploys, absorbing energy and reducing the force applied to the anchor point to below 4 kN. The overall length after full deployment of the energy absorber is 100 cm.

Features
- HMPE sling with integrated, compact shock absorber – developed with Simon Gietl
- Areas of use: alpine, big wall, and ice climbing with questionable anchor points
- Reduces the dynamic impact force on the anchor point to less than 4 kN
- 3 kN static response force
- With a weight of less than 50 g, only negligibly heavier than a conventional quickdraw sling
- Braking distance 85 cm (total deployed length: 100 cm)
- The combination of a G-SCREAMER and rope clamp pursuant to EN 567 fulfills the dynamic requirements established in EN 15151-1 (braking device with manually assisted locking) and can therefore be used to belay a follower
- Must not be used to substitute a via ferrata lanyard
