The first of its kind: this continuously woven dynex cord is ideal for extending anchors. Its construction makes it exceptionally strong, durable, and light.
The Infinity Cord is constructed by taking dynex threads and looping them around, creating a continuous loop that requires no stitching or bar tacking to finish. The wound dynex filament core is finished with a dynex/nylon blend sheath, making it extremely durable and abrasion resistant. It should be noted that the strength of this cord lies in its infinity construction, so it shouldn’t be cut and re-tied.

Tough enough for climbing, built to handle anything. From days on the trail, miles on the road, hours at the office, our lifestyle apparel pays homage to our roots, while bringing style and functionality to our lives beyond the crag.
Reviewers say the Infinity Cord is very light and compact, very strong, and that knots untie easily even after heavy loading. They use it for trad and multi-pitch anchors, quads, rappel extensions and threading chockstones, and say it racks cleaner than traditional slings and cordelettes. Stiffness is mixed: several like that it holds its shape, while three found it stiff or wire-like, especially at the sheathed joint, and a few noted the splice sheath is more visible than expected.

"As an adherent of the cordelette style of belay building, this infinity cord is a must have. It has a smaller footprint on the harness due to its stiffness, which makes it slightly moldable ... you can "pack it down". When used to build a belay, it's clean, strong, and slick. Big fan. I've been using climbing gear since the mid-90's ... this is one of those pieces of kit that makes you say, "where has this been all my life?"."
"I’ve been using my 240cm infinity sling primarily to build anchors on multipitch trad climbs. It’s super lightweight, knots are much easier to untie than traditional Dyneema slings, the sheath gives me the warm and fuzzies when things start to rub… do yourself a favor and get yourself one"
"There’s so many applications for this one piece of gear. The infinity cord is great for anchor building, hard to reach places since it conforms to the shape you make it. and also good for natural anchors and trad climbing. It folds down nice and compact on your harness. Immense breaking strength. 1000% will buy another one. The 180cm is my favorite length. The 240cm is nice but a little long. Could be great for a three point trad anchor though."
"The infinity cord is a fun cord that can be used like any other cord or runner. I haven't totally found a practical use for it in its rigid form yet. But it is super light weight and easy to stow and use."
"This was kind of an impulsive buy but I am so glad I did. It is great for equalizing anchors and the flexible and rigid function is super cool"
"The perfect sling/cord doesn't exi. . . . . . . This stuff is like magic. Super light and packs down to nothing and is relatively easy to undo knots after they have been loaded, given the thin diameter of the cord. I have two 240's and 2 120's, they have more or less replaced other slings and even 'power cord' in my kit. BD nailed this one. Photo of my partner using it as a rappel extension."
"I haven’t used it yet, but I love the way it coils! Im not sure how I feel about the rigidity, but I’m excited to use it."
"I recently purchased infinity cord in two lengths. Its light and packs down tight."
"I took my 180cm Infinity cord up a multi pitch today and it was perfect. The knots practically undressed themselves at the end of the climb, I loved it! Taking out the overlap stitching made setting up the anchor just that extra bit easier. All in all I will be buying these for a long time!"
"Great as an emergency foot loop super compact and thin with rigidity for threading in tight spots"
