Blue Ice Alpine Runner

Designed and developed in Chamonix at the heart of world-class alpinism, the Blue Ice Alpine Runner is a modern take on the classic extendable runner. Built with a UHMWPE core and a braided HTPE sheath, these runners offer outstanding abrasion and UV resistance, making them a long-lasting addition to any rack whether you're sport climbing at the crag, building anchors on a multi-pitch, or heading into serious alpine terrain.

What sets the Alpine Runner apart from a conventional sewn sling is its single-strand design. Rather than a closed loop, the Alpine Runner's open-ended format makes it far more packable and intuitive to deploy on the wall. The sewn loops at each end keep a carabiner seated securely in position, helping maintain optimal loading angles without the carabiner wandering. They function brilliantly as extendable quickdraws, allowing you to clip short and extend when the route dictates, all without the need to carry multiple draw lengths.

Trad climbers will find the Alpine Runner particularly versatile. The 35cm length slots naturally into the role of a short draw on bolt routes or gear placements, while the longer 90cm and 110cm options come into their own for anchor building, extending belay devices, or use as a rappel tether. The 55cm is perfect as an extendable quickdraw, where one carabiner can be inserted into the other and clipped onto the hanging strand to create an easily deployable alpine draw.

Available in four lengths (35cm, 55cm, 90cm, and 110cm), the Blue Ice Alpine Runners are a lightweight, dependable, and thoughtfully designed piece of kit. Carabiners sold seperately.
