If you use a piece of webbing for a slackline. Would you deem it safe to reuse as a TR anchor?

I don't think so. The loads on a slackline would make me worry.

Probably. But why risk it? webbing isn't that expensive.

If you just use it a time or 2 and dont leave it up in the rain, cold and sun i would say it is fine. If the line is up all the time or if it gets a lot of use i would say keep it slack line only webbing. Inspect it, is it stiff? faded? Its your call but i would say better safe than sorry.

I couldn't agree more. it costs what like 3 bucks for enough webbing to use for a top rope.
