Patrons: This is the 7th of 8 posts in March.  

This Episode: This was a year ago when we tried to get our hands on some UFOs.  It was September when we did and it sat in the queue for a while because I was mid big wall series at that point.  This has all the good stuff in 1 episode.  Drop tests, human testing, Larry saying funny stuff, slow pulls and breaking something I didn't plan on :).  

What's Next: Working on lab stuff.  Might have a special video this Saturday!

Betcha don't have this climbing gear

UFO's are fabric wedges with climbing shoe rubber that are between a nut and a cam. They are used in Czech Republic and some parts of Germany and Switzerland where the rock is so fragile that they outlawed metal protection. Would you whip on these?

In my opinion, when you loop, let's call it the bottom foot, and rappel with your hand down by your butt, the rope pops out of the friction setting. This is when you need friction. The popping out to me is dangerous. It doesn't feel good when you add friction and it pops out.

I talked to Sean and we agree to disagree. He says to rap with your arm out more. It's not my preference.
