A '''daisy chain''' is a long [[webbing]], with sawn loops along its entire length and [[girth hitch|girth hitched) to the harness, so that a climber can attach it to an [[anchor]] at any chosen length.

The original use for a daisy chain is as an adjustable extention for hanging from anchors whils [[aid]] climbing. Many climbers like to use a daisy chain as a [[cow's tail]].

==Do and don't when using a Daisy Chain==

It is important to note that the stiches that make the daisy chain loops are only meant to hold body weight. Although the webbing itself is a standard one, with breaking strength of 22kN, the loops stiches hold only about 1.5-2.5kN (depending on the brand and model), and that means about 150-200kg! adjusting the daisy length by clipping a [[carabiner]] onto two loops, can load those stiches and tear its way out. This is shown in the first illustration.

This is why you should never use one biner to adjust a daisy chain. Adaisy chain should have a (preferably locking) biner at its end. This biner should be first clipped into the anchor. Adjusting the length is only done by clipping a second into one loop of the daisy chain, and onto the first biner, as shown in the second illustration.
