It depends on what you mean, slings are useful for many things in climbing.They can be used to sling over a rock spike then clip into a carabiner or as a flexible joint between a piece of gear so the gear isn't pulled out as you climb past. If it was all you had you could use them in a klemheist knot to climb a rope etc.
