Mike_Gauthier Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 This may be a long shot... but here goes. Calling anyone with "Chouinard" double stem Camelots. I've been asked to lead an outside analysis of Goran Kropp's accident at Frenchman Coulee. So far, the process is going well, however, our team could use some help. We are looking for old style (double cable) Chouinard Camelots. In particular, we are looking for # 1, 2 and 3 cams. Those are the red, yellow and blue cams respectively. Last Friday, I spent the day with a team of five testing gear, breaking gear and generally seeing what holds and what doesn't with these cams. Unfortunately, we only had a few to work with and would like to do more testing. If you have this style of cam, and would like to help, we'd love to have your gear. Perhaps it's time to retire your old cams? Maybe they're collecting dust b/c you've already moved onto better/newer gear? Maybe you know someone who doesn't climb on them anymore??? Whatever the case, any donation will be GREATLY appreciated! We promise to return your gear at the completion of the analysis along with a video showing how we tested it. More than likely, your gear will be crunched so consider this before donating. Please PM me if you have any thoughts or suggestions. Feel free to forward this request to others who may be able to help. Thanks in advance for any help you are able to offer.
