Having done some rock climbing, epoxied in lots of rebar and construction bolts, oilfield and farm work I’d say the problem was hole preparation. I’d say threaded holes cleaned out with a non residual cleaner ie. break cleaner or alcohol should give a more definitive result.

Wonder what wood happen ir yeahs did saddle the dead horse???

that spring has a nasty habbit of cutting fingers off

Drug or dragged?

Still i would Buy the thicker one. Skinny band like that does not take too much abuse and grinding on rocks to tear.

Badly worded short..

It's funny, i don't even climb, or even plan on starting to climb, but i enjoy this channel so much lol

was there ever a 3/8" follow up?

Heat treatment does NOT work on any metal.

Speaking of algorithm, Yea im not a climber but somehow ended up on yoir channel and now I want to rock climb. F*ck I hate have adhd 😂 gotta tell myself no, cause I'll go out spend thousands of dollars climb for a year and either A: die or, B: move on to the next thing that cost a boat load of money. However going to try some of these Indoor places by me that has rental gear. I'm 2 hours away from red river gorge. Anyone in the cincinnati area by chance that can teach me, it's been 20 years since I was in thw army and learned how to repel. I'm a hunter and I think looking at ascenders and ropes brought me here. Love the channel btw😂

I love these

The industry standard that I was taught is *_three_* clips, and then there's also how much dead wire rope trails off.

You don't need stainless steel chain, you just need to know WTF you're doing.

Sure one of them broke but the fact is still safely lowered a giant rock that took a whipper is impressive

It's not a "u-clip"..... the technical term is a Crosby, after one of the main brands that made them in the beginning. If you said u-clip in an industrial setting... nobody would have the slightest idea what you're talking about; however, if you said Crosby... most people would know.

The Perfect Descent uses a coiled band similair to what your seat belts use to control the extension and retraction motion. Since these bands have more material and surface area, they can apply more force and friction to aid in either motion compared to a simple set of coiled springs, which your True Blue uses.

but your not loading the rope when it rubs in the ring.. kinda a useless test imo..

Thermal camera overview?

900lb rock…!!! Rock on!!!

I just do a Flemish eye. Those clips are for amateurs

The sound that machine makes sounds like that snoop dogg song

When I worked offshore back in the early 80's and used to off and on run Gallion cranes and sling loads we had a bunch of different ways to make cable ends.. I have woven the tail back into the live end then clamped that, used joiner sleeves which are a thin version of those crimps and clamped that, done figure 8 where the tail is looped back on itself and the 3 pieces are all clamped together.. We sometimes would get slings made by Haliburton that had steel crimps that were forged and compressed onto the cables.. We also used cable eye shoes that prevented direct cable to hook contact from time to time on slings that were in constant use.. Ends that had hooks or lengths of chain or 3 to 4 cables attached to a bull ring.. Every customer's crew boss had their way so I had quite a variety in the tool room..

I would say the only time he was tightening this up with something else other than your hands would only be to prevent vibration undo it

I was taught to use three cable clips.

Yall should do something with AvE

Modern technical rescue guy here and I also work in the industrial safety field, so I know all the boring regulations when it comes to NFPA and OSHA. Redundancy is good, but with modern equipped and modern MBS ratings redundancy is mostly just to make someone feel good. You aren't taking whippers on this stuff. In the industrial side of things I do alot of operations with a single anchor point and a single 1/2 inch kernmantle rope that has a weight rating of 9,820 lbs. In some cases it just isn't reasonable to have multiple anchor points and multiple rope systems attached to each person. In alot of cases I am going in alone on one rope with whatever equipment I need. That is why we use a 1/2 inch rope. The standard says 3/8 rescue rope is good for one person and 1/2 inch is good for 2 people. Now that isn't always the case though. Let's say i pull someone out of frac tower or 200 foot tall cold box. Obviously I need to get them to the ground and that is when we will set up a redundant system as both of us will be attached together and be lowered down to the ground together. Them in a SKED or basket and me attached to the side of it so that I can help guide around obstacles, keep the patient calm if they are conscious, and/or render whatever aid is needed immediately upon reaching the ground. I have never had a peice of rescue equipment fail on me and the entire rescue team double and triple checks every part of the system. It is all situation dependant though.

As a technical rescue guy i appreciate thease videos. If you guys started carrying and testing a catalog of technical rescue equipment then I would buy a bunch of stuff from you guys.

How would Thimbles change results?

It’s one stronger

There's a bridge in Sweden where they used wire rope clips. And they installed half of them wrong way, saddle on the unloaded part. The orientation is random, so it's not some intentional thing. But the issue doesn't seem to be that the steel cables got damaged by the installation. Instead, the steel cable has started slipping out of the clamps. I've tried contacting the authorities, but they simply defer the re-inspection to a subsidiary the same guys who built the bride, who, unsurprisingly, say that it's perfectly safe even though cables are literally slipping out of their fasteners. Their argument is that because it's a walking bridge, it won't see the same loads as a road bridge. But since it was only built to spec for handling walking bridge loads, the loads will still be exceeded when enough of the cables have slipped out.

You should have tried that agian to see if the clamps actually are 80%

They say it's bad because grinding a rope between two pieces of metal might not be the best option

500 lbs is not a simular number however both are above the rating

the reason they want you to leave enough tail coming thru is to prevent it from creating an impingement where the tail terminates. in pretty much all of these cases, its failing right wherever you have a cut end trapped against the load line inside a crimp.

isnt 17kilonewtons more than a car

Always backup a clovehitch with a ½hitch. When i was to younger it was very common to use clove hitches when righing pipes would have been crazy not to back it up.

According to Swedish rules, they press the wire incorrectly. Here in Sweden, you are not allowed to press the sleeve more than once as it will damage the wire like the ones they show. A press that takes the entire sleeve at once.

I have one for my saddle tether.

I’m not a climber, but why is 7 kN not safe enough to hold your body weight? As far as I can tell, a kN can handle a 22 kg mass in 100 m fall, so 7 kN would be 154 kg, heavier than any climber. What size falls and what weight are they basing the minimum strength on?

Make it redundant. Use a second one as a backup!
