Full details
The DMM Freedom Leash is designed for climbers who prefer leashless ascents, offering the freedom of unencumbered movement while acting as a critical safety net to prevent tool drops. While it liberates your climbing experience, it's crucial to understand its primary function is to mitigate the risk of losing your axes, not as a primary security measure.

How should I clean the leash?

What does the 'double Revo leash' feature refer to?
This refers to a feature on some DMM leashes (though not explicitly detailed for this specific model's primary description) where a clip-in point halfway up allows for clipping a sling in case of a fall, enabling you to pull back to your axes if they hold.
Troubleshooting
Carabiner will not lock
Ensure there is no debris obstructing the locking mechanism. If damage is suspected, discontinue use.
Webbing appears frayed or damaged
Do not use the leash. Inspect for any signs of wear or damage before each climb. Replace if any damage is found.
Leash feels too short or restrictive
Ensure the leash is attached to an appropriate point on your harness that allows for optimal reach. The leash is designed for leashless freedom and has limited extension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
