Web-o-letteTM by Mountain Tools

The Web-o-lette is manufactured and sold by Mountain Tools. It is a 10' length of 9/16" webbing made out of a Spectra-Nylon hybrid with two sewn end loops. Web-o-lettes are used like cordelettes to make equalized anchors.

I find that web-o-lettes are faster and simpler to set up than cordelettes because: 1) they have two less strands (four vs. six) to equalize, and 2) they have no knot to get in the way when you're trying to equalize. Web-o-lettes are rated at 3000lbf minimum breaking strength, and they make bomber anchers when set up in the recommended manner. I carry two, sometimes three.
