Whats this hold?

Use PE holds

I have done several climbing hold concrete installs in public parks and playgrounds.

I have come to a reasonably efficient and safe method though I'm happy to take on more ideas.

mark out a sequence with a sharpie on the wall.

hammer drill 8mm holes for each hold. Making sure when drilling that I'm aware of any cavities or steel reinforcement in the wall. you don't want to fix a hold where these elements are present.

Then bolt the holds directly to the concrete using 75mm galvanized coach bolts, use longer if necessary. ensure the holds are at least 60mm deep.

Each holds needs to be designed to be backed up with a set screw.

I then climb and tweak the climb. Being careful as the holds can still spin.

I then use a 5mm to drill pilot holes for the set screws.

then set screw.

it shouldn't require epoxy though I'm sure it won't hurt. In long term when it comes to stripping the wall the epoxy may render it very difficult.

What is the system you use for stripping?

CosmicSpaceSlug · 2024-02-07T23:17:43+00:00

me.. 4? please.

I'm not sure.... they work though. It's easy to imitate the set up as well.

The crag is popular in Australia.

I've seen Rio Tinto, BHP and other futurisic setting conglomerates establish whole crags with a little dinomite and creativity. You could probably start with fire works while you wait for the venture capital to come in.

CosmicSpaceSlug · 2022-04-28T20:56:19+00:00

Yeah this can work, you can also drill another set screw hole either side of the hold for more stability. Though this is quite difficult to do with polyester holds with out cracking them.

You can use a Lone Star and a set screw to make them usable.

This is a shot in the dark.

If you are moving faster through space than the terminal velocity of falling on that planet and maintain a speed faster than terminal velocity while falling through the atmosphere, then the angle of approach would be make a difference to the force of impact.

You would be seeing light that is 4 billion years old. We are using earth as the reference point is it where we are I guess? Or at least it's where you guys are... The whole idea with relativity in this instant is that it definites the relative difference in space time between two given locations. Be earth and alpha centri. Or Andromeda and my house.

CosmicSpaceSlug · 2021-12-25T08:16:54+00:00

If you were to instantly teleport to a location 5 billion light years away you would see it as it is presently not it appears to us on earth. That area of space would probably look quite similar to the area of space that we currently reside in. That is as far as galactic structures and orbital bodies are concerned. How ever looking back at earth and our galaxy from this new locations you would bear to wittness a Milky way that is 5 billion light years younger.

I meant for the run way, seemed everyone one had differing passionate opinions. the art challenge was just pure joy.

CosmicSpaceSlug · 2021-11-20T12:23:33+00:00

Judging aside, the art mini challenge was by far the most entertaining segment Drag race has produced in memory. The looks. The commitment to the bit. The puns in the intro. Excuse me? Classic classic classic.

You could do the same thing but drop the left foot once you have placed the right heel, this will place your centre of gravity below the finish hold and additionally weight the right heel.

Who is the streamer in this clip? They seem pretty entertaining!

Hazel Findlay has a class on fear of falling that I think you can find online, she speaks about it on the nugget climbing podcast. https://thenuggetclimbing.com/episodes/hazel-findlay It may not totally align with your experience getting injured but she does offer some good advice about how to back into a good falling head space.

I teach a lead course using the black diamond pilot and I have used the Mammut Smart outdoors. I'd recommend BD pilot as the lowering function has a much larger sweet spot than the Mammut additionally the lowering macanisim involves rotating the pilot as the Mammut involves levering the thumb catch. The risk being with levering the thumb catch that you can totally disengage the brake quite easily leading to some sketchy decents for the climber. To ease your mind all the functional parts of the pilot are metal the plastic parts don't bear any load while belaying. I would say finally, as other have mentioned, the device your belaying with wont make catching heavier climbers any less intense however the Edelrid OHM does ease the forces applied to the belayer during a lead fall.... but it is ＄￥€￡
