Excellent gear bag from @industrialsewingworkshop

One of many experiments - my favourite bit of design and product development. This device was to grip the edge of a flake for #aidclimbing It was a fail! But leads me in new directions. I love dreaming up new gear, but most of it doesn’t make it to market. Full story on the website #aidclimb #bigwallclimbing #bigwall

Checking out the double tape knot on @aussiemadefabrics massive pull test machine. A knotted sling made in their 22kN nylon tube tape. You can see the stretch, surprisingly no slip in the knots. The break occurred inside the knot at an impressive 29.4kN. I expected much lower for a knotted sling. Tried one with a single tape knot and got 27.9kN. Thanks to crew @aussiemadefabrics for indulging my experimentation! I love breaking stuff! #rockclimbing #sling #knot

Double tape knot to reduce risk of a single knot snagging and releasing. See article on climbdesign.co. #knots #tradclimbing #rockclimbing

How to rack a 4m sling - the movie! 400cm dyneema sling #knots #tradclimbing #rockclimbing

How to rack a 4m sling: halve it a few times till it’s 1/2m long, keep the end loops organised so you can clip a carabiner in each end. Hold it straight and twist the sling between the carabiners then clip one to the other and the sling lays-up into a bundle. 400cm dyneema sling #knots #tradclimbing #rockclimbing

LRBP Mk3 pull tests. Got up to 16kN this time!

Pull to destruction is fun on a 30kN machine!

Locking removable bolt plate (LRBP) evolution: up to V3 on the right off for pull tests and also drop tests to see if the new prototype gets more than 12kN

The new locking removable bolt plate. See more on the website and interview in Vertical Life @verticallifemag #tradclimbing #rockclimbing #justbombergear
