ivan Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 naw, not the kind adam west used...the other kind i heard tell of, but never saw in person, the type you'd use for aiding on a drilled hole - i've used a talon hook for this purpose, but there's gotta be somethign w/ a longer proboscis that'd make the experience a good deal less sketch. anybody gotta a picture, the google ain't helping me much? willing to buy, if'n you got one or a side interest in iron-mongery...

G-spotter Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 You mean the pointed one? http://www.mtntools.com/cat/rclimb/bolts/mosesaidhooks.htm Quote
ivan Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 naw, something w/ a much longer head to insert into a drilled hole of say 1/2 inch Quote
yikes Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 I got curious and did some googling of my own. I found this critter http://www.petzl.com/en/Sport/Packs-and-accessories/REGLETTE?l=INT#.VXdDUlzBzRY I never used one, but this guy at least took a picture of a batshitty placement and has some credentials that suggest he might have stepped onto it. http://andy-kirkpatrick.com/blog/view/bat_hooks Quote
John Frieh Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Fish once made one called the Captain Hook that worked well. I have one you could borrow if I find it. http://www.fishproducts.com/catalog/hooks_heads.html The Petzl one is nice also Quote
billcoe Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 John, just bumped your thread in partners. You need a workout tomorrow after work?:-) PS, Ivans looking to stuff it into a shallow drilled hole - that Captain hook wouldn't fit into a bathook hole. PS, I have one for rent if anyone wants:-) It's crazy heavy. The pointy leeper and Modified Grappling hooks do the trick. Both the Petzl and Grivel make pointy hooks too. Kyle has some Brad Jarrod ground donw/modded BD's that would do the trick I'd bet. Mine looked something like this till I got liquered up and slathered paint all over the shit. Quote
billcoe Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 HOLY CRAP, IT LOOKS LIKE I OWN AN OLD DESIGN CHOUINARD IN THERE!! FER CHRISTS SAKE DON'T PAINT THAT PUPPY!!!! Quote
billcoe Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Plaidman soiled all the peckers that I hadn't already trashed. Tomahawk in blank "rock" That's Plaidman up there. Quote
stillcrankin Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Ivan, I've got a couple at my other house. They were old Chouinard hooks from the early 70's that I ground specifically for holes. They're perfect. When and where do you need them? Don! Quote
ivan Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 if'n yer willing to part w/ a pair, i got cash money to lay on the barrel head the when's whenever, though i'd like to put them to good use over the summer - the where's the fabulous renton granite of course Quote
Buckaroo Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Black Diamond still sells the (triple) Talon Hook, made for holes, but it's spendy. Talon Hook Quote
ivan Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 I gotta pair of talons actually, and put'em to good use last weekend linking multiple holes between bolts, just wanted to find something even more confidence inspiring Quote
G-spotter Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Does an RB work if the hole is so shallow that it only goes in half way? Quote
ivan Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 don't know nothing'bout no removable bolts, if'n that's what you mean da google tells me the things are fuck-all expensive though - i'm just looking for a hunka cheap, old fashioned iron Quote
num1mc Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Pointy Leepers were the standard for many years Quote
stillcrankin Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I was just gonna loan them to you, Ivan, and you could send 'em back when you're done. I made 'em for 1/4" holes and they work pretty well. I prolly won't need 'em this summer. You got plans for The Trench? Quote
ivan Posted June 12, 2015 Author Posted June 12, 2015 sent you an email ole'boy - would be nice to do soemthign w/ you down south this summer, something to make men faint and shy person's pass on Quote
stillcrankin Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Who you callin' old, boy?? Get yerself a phone and it might work out. Brooks and Carlstad may be coming down around the same time…... Quote
Kristoffer Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Yo, if your looking for something special for standard ¼” diameter BAT hook holes Pika makes (or made) a BAT hook that has a split in the tip, the idea is lot like a split shaft button head bolt, I have one around somewhere, almost never keep in on my wall rack.. Just extra weight, the smallest leg on the BD talon hook is designed for BAT hooking, no need for it to be more secure, if in good rock BAT hooking is so damn secure in the first place, even when its overhanging and the legs of the hooks don’t touch the wall, it wont fail. Pika hook The pointed Logan Hook is also an option, they are available through runoutcustoms. logan hook If you speaking of drilled holes with a diameter of 3/8” or ½” (sometimes called pilot holes, like bilcoes photo) a set of filed BD grappling hooks are the most sustainable option next to filling the pilot hole with a bolt or rivet.

wayne Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Yo Ivanhoe, I once heard tale of a project on, of all places, Bat Wall. Heard of it? "Die in the Gym", or something like that. Has that seen a 2nd ascent to your knowledge? Quote
ivan Posted June 14, 2015 Author Posted June 14, 2015 sure have but no, ain't heard of anybody other than me messing w/ it after you (though that don't mean shit) - might help if the guide mentioned the pro was all bathooks Quote
