Nice to see the old Petzl Reverso. I've seen some videos ( ruclips.net/video/z9Ed3KwQb-w/видео.html ) from climbers who are using the guide mode as a foot ascender. It's not completely clear to me how to use this in a practical situation.
Around 8:00 in - those are NOT nylon slings, those are Spectra/Dyneema. Seemingly trivial but as they are static, not dynamic, melt far easier, and knots weaken them much more, incorporating them into a belay/anchor/tie-in system can introduce all sorts of issues.
You're right, the sling that I called nylon is actually a mix of both spectra/ dyneema and nylon not completely nylon. Sorry about the confusion, however both materials are perfectly fine to incorporate in your anchor so long as you follow the same anchor precautions and best practices with climbing anchors. There are times when a nylon sling would be better over dyneema but you could make the argument that dyneema would be better than nylon in other circumstances and having a few of each in your quiver could help prepare you for many different situations. Another thing I want to clear up is that both Dyneema and nylon are considered static, nylon does tend to stretch a little bit more than dyneema but you shouldn't be loading these materials in a dynamic fashion unless you have a rope or other dynamic element in the system.

New to sport-appreciate your older videos.
Thank you, great video.
