catbirdseat Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 This could be the real deal. There ARE materials that have the characteristics claimed for this product. These materials are able to "flow" under slow and steady stresses, but are unable to react quickly to short-term stress. In other words you can press these into a crack and they'll stay put. Fall on them and they'll stay. I imagine that they have at their core a standard aluminum nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denalidave Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Wow, I always thought of something like that but figured it was way off in the future. I guess we really do live in the future now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainmatt Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Exactly. Come on people, a climbing company is going to produce something that looks like used chewing gum on a cable? They would at least be made from a mold. This is right up there with the friction hook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bar-tacked Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 In case some of you are still wondering about this: http://www.rockandice.com/inthemag.php?id=56&type=tnbeblast It seems a matter of time though, before somebody comes up with something equally crazy for real. Makes me wonder how much the technology can move forward without degrading the nature of climbing... Having said that, if the gear looked the same like 50 years ago, I wouldn't have balls to even start climbing in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
