DMM Tendon

The DMM Tendon is a saddle accessory from DMM, the Welsh maker of carabiners and climbing hardware. It is one of the small parts that let climbers set up their saddle the way they work, so check the listing for its exact fit before ordering.

Where it fits

Saddle accessories are the small parts that make a harness work for the way you climb: keeping gear where you can reach it, connecting components, or replacing worn pieces. The DMM Tendon belongs to this group. Confirm what it attaches to and which saddles it fits before you order, since saddle hardware is not always cross-compatible.

If you are building out or repairing a harness, browse the rest of saddle parts and shoulder harnesses for related pieces.

Inspection and safe use

Only use an accessory for the job its maker intended. A part made for gear storage or organization is not a life-support connection, and nothing should be added to the life-support parts of a saddle unless the saddle maker allows it.

Small saddle parts are easy to overlook until one is missing. When you set up a new harness or replace a worn one, think through where each tool, cord, and piece of hardware will ride, and which small accessories keep that layout tidy. A clean setup means less fumbling aloft and fewer dropped tools. Keep the packaging or product card with the part so you know exactly what it is rated for, and replace it with the same part when it wears out.

Check the part every day along with the rest of your saddle for cuts, abrasion, cracks, and wear, and replace it when in doubt. Life-support gear must meet ANSI Z133 and the manufacturer's instructions, be inspected before use, and be used only by trained climbers.
