I know its dirty but it should clean up nice, it still says uiaa on the sides! Found this alpine quick draw at the base of titties and beer on looking glass today.  I needed a new one this will work right?null

I wouldn't use the sling. The biners should be fine though.

Look closer at the near biner.

That bottom biner seems to have lost a bit of material...

What I thought when I saw the picture, "it's already f*&^%(* broke you dumb@$$". Actually, I said it out loud. Oops.

I'm sure it's fine as long as you never weight it.

Thanks for cleaning up that trash at the crag.

The sling is totally fine, but I think I see microfractures in those carabiners.

Sure, go ahead and use it...for hanging gear in the garage. But if you're so cheap/broke that you think your life is only worth protection by some old junk you found, you need to seek professional help. Stay on flat ground until you've recovered. We don't need to read about you going splat because you didn't want to spend a few $ on reliable pro!

The bottom biner is broken (or my eye are).

Use the sling and other biner on for IG photos to show off how much gear you have.

That looks like it's been through somebody's booty...

BAIL GEAR...Wash the sling, use the un-broken 'biner in conjunction with another bail piece & the "not-so-good" 'biner ? KEY FOB? or for jamming  the gas pump handle/nozzle; (keeping it depressed) when filling the gas tank; YMMV
