They have 8 foot, and like 12 or 14 foot ones too...very lightweight, very expensive, but way cool...they work great for multi-pitch anchors, alpine climbing or a spare lightweight cord...

I want something that could be used to setup anchors for TRing at sites that dont have bolts, something that could be used to equalize anchors on bolted routes, and something that i can practice with on knots, and whatever else may come up as i learn.
I see the point of the runners being much simpler, but cant use those for building TR anchors among other things (that I know of). I thought a decent length (maybe my estimate was too long) would be better.
