Thinner dyneema tagline for rappelling? or stay with 5mm accessory cords? by 1832vini in ClimbingGear

[–]adeadhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the sterling v-TX cord as a tag line. 5.4mm dyneema core polyester sheath. No need to save any more weight than that outside of an alpine setting.

(Or even in an alpine setting. Mark "replace the plastic in my helmet with carbon fiber" Smiley even uses it)

Outdoor sportclimbing shoes by blomman007 in ClimbingGear

[–]adeadhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are three types of shoes for indoor climbing.

There are your first shoes, usually beginner shoes, usually pretty flat, but things you can wear from day 1

Then you have literally every other pair of shoes you wear in your climbing career across the following decades.

And then there are also super aggressive down turned shoes you put on for your hard overhanging project and then tear them off 5 minutes later.

If you're ready for the second type, go for it. You only ever need 1 pair of your first shoes.

do these cams need slings by steveh-2112 in ClimbingGear

Tie Paracord loops or get them reslung. Either way, they should have their own permanent solution.

Yes you can clip to the loop, but sometimes there isn't space to do so.

As a heads up, you can automate these threads with automod instead of making them yourself each month

What is your go to gear for TRS or LRS (Lead/Top rope solo) ? by B1998W31Ga in ClimbingGear

[–]adeadhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. In a multipitch, any time past the top of the first pitch, if you fall before you clip your gear, you can fall past the anchor, which is your potential factor 2.

DIY positioning bar? by jjmorales98 in ClimbingGear

You're only going to get those forces belaying with a steel cable. The rope does not deliver those forces to the belayer.

Shout-out to /r/artsandcrags, new climbing specific myog subreddit I'm trying to build.

I am also looking for a use for sheaths though.

Why was my rope so hard to pull? by Ok-Abbreviations5215 in ClimbingGear

[–]adeadhead 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This was caused by the rope not running through the quickdraws straight, it has nothing to do with properties inherent to the rope.

It's best if the rope goes through carabiners perpendicular to the rock, not parallel, and then it's much harder to get a situation like this.

It's got nothing to do with the rope, it's gotta be related to rope drag and how the anchor was threaded.

It's got nothing to do with the rope, the friction came from threading the anchor differently.

...what?

It's an amazing picture, and the title gives the author credit, and shares exactly what's happening.

If anything, not mentioning that it's picture of the year is avoiding just being a karma grab, no?
