Daisy chain vs pas weight 25: a 220-pound weight dropped nine inches on a 36-inch daisy chain. I learned in an institutional climbing course that daisy chains are meant for aid climbing and don't hold up to safety standards for a PAS, each pocket or "loop" is only rated to 2-3kN of force. In terms of weight and bulkiness, there’s not a lot separating the four commercially available PAS’s.
