BAWHAHAHAHA

MOG X2 with a factor two.....yep that happens all the time. i didn't say "all the time"...i said easily...difference... ever fall straight onto a belay? That'd generate it...and i bet falls at the first piece are getting close to a 1000lbs...

The difference is that a BD microstopper is rated at 5kN, not 12kN...ie, you'd probably do something like put a screamer on it, or double it up, etc. recognizing that is "only rated at 5kN", whereas, if you had a nice camming unit rated at 12kN buried in clean granite, you wouldn't even think twice about it (when you should, if its a cch piece-of-shit with a "real" rating of 5kN)... While i generally think choad is a choad, i think he's spot on about your comment...you can generate 1000lbs pretty easily in some cases....

that is freaking amazing...there are levels, and then there are levels!

totally different in europe...

you don't climb much, do you?????

BAWHAHAHAHA....

or maybe leave them on the ground... i can't imagine a company doing this???? Seriously poor judgement...

cellars are the best training mechanism out there...if you are a social butterfly mark is right, if you want to get sick strong home garage setup is the ticket with some motivated training partners...

totally agree...

Apologies if already posted...

Tear it up!

Without sport climbing, something like this would never happen... <---same link as KevinO's Only with sport climbing, gyms, new wave bouldering, etc was he able to develop this kind of climbing strength... is this a progression of the sport? i dunno, its pretty incredible though....

of course my arse is hardly lightweight...

i just hip belay... pfffft! and i thought you were old skewl...

never had a problem with the mid 9's...done the whole gammut of rock climbing... heard about a lot of them cutting just look for cheap ropes and replace...watch bill's cheap rope posts...

or Mikey...

you might ask little ben about that...

i guess, if you were "testing" the gear, you weren't sure it would work...so why didn't the moron think about the outcome of the gear "failing the test"...ie, the big ledge to smack...

a couple of years ago? TEST FAILURE

Curious...

hey Sol... Say boo to Jens...tell him Drew hiked moby dick and ahab, and did blue suede shoes in three goes...

i cut down from two bags of cheetos to one... man, glad i'm reading this stuff...makes me motivated to start scraping some time together... Also, my boy is completely shredding in comps and general climbing...kinda getting me stoked on this whole climbing thing again...
