Stitched sling. The seams of the sling, both on the edge and on the side, have been finished to prevent them from getting caught when carrying out manoeuvres during tethers, with carabiners, etc. The distinctive Fixe logo is sewn onto the side of the sling to avoid friction during manoeuvres, and the edges of the label have been rounded off.
The combination of materials used in the sling Fosca significantly improves its resistance and durability. The central part of the sling, in black, is made of HMPE (high modulus polyethylene), an extraordinarily light material with high tensile strength. Both sides of the sling have been reinforced with a polyamide outline, distinguished by its length indicator colour, and known for its high abrasion resistance. This careful choice of materials optimises the performance of the sling Fosca, making it extremely light and resistant to both traction and abrasion. In addition, polyamide is also used in the safety seams.
It has a resistance of 22 kN. It can withstand high impact loads and has exceptional resistance to abrasion, superior to that of a polyamide sling, guaranteeing reliability in every movement. Its versatility and flexible design make this an indispensable piece for setting up quickdraws or building rock bridges. It is the shortest sling in the whole family.
Recommended for mountain activities and also expeditions, mountaineering, ice climbing and classical climbing.
The packaging is made entirely of biodegradable material (kraft paper). The base of the applied dyes is of vegetable origin. The entire packaging must be recycled as paper.
FOSCA 10 SLING
La Fosca, sewn rings in HMPE tape (Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) recommended for high mountain activities and expeditions, mountaineering, ice climbing, and traditional climbing. The Fosca rings are available in two diameters, 8 mm and 10 mm, and in various lengths.
The Fosca HMPE presents three innovations:
MORE FLUID MOTION
The combination of HMPE in the central part and polyamide on the sides provides great lightness and resistance to both traction and abrasion.
NO SNAGS
Finished seams. Snags are avoided when performing maneuvers at belay stations, with carabiners, etc.
MATERIAL COMBINATION
The distinctive Fixe logo is sewn on the side of the ring to prevent friction during maneuvers. Additionally, the edges of the label are rounded.

Vall Fosca is a hidden treasure in the Catalan Pyrenees. Located north of the Pallars Jussà region, this valley captivates with its natural beauty. Despite its charm, Vall Fosca has not received the same attention as other locations in the Pyrenees. However, in our effort to highlight the uniqueness of this place, we have created the Fosca sling, the first on the market with a dark color.
Fosca, in Catalan, also refers to the absence of light. By choosing this innovative dark color design, we honor the very essence of Vall Fosca.
