Daisy Chain

A daisy chain is a length of webbing, usually three to four feet long, doubled back and then divided into a series of sewn loops. The end of the daisy chain is attached to a climber’s harness. The daisy chain’s loops can then be used to attach or clip[/link] the climber with a carabiner to a piece of protection equipment like a nut or cam or to an anchor at the end of a pitch. Daisy chains are extensively used in aid climbing.
