8th of 8 Posts for May: Other than bolting videos, I only have 4 videos from the old lab left to edit! I'm hoping to have everything edited within 2-3 weeks from filming it once I'm caught up. This is a bad example. I shot this about a week ago and it's pretty good so I'm excited to release it. This is why so many older videos get delayed. Eventually, all the episodes will have this kind of turnaround.

Today's Post: Tom emailed me a niche question about cross loading a carabiner and after some banter, he lived super close enough and brought some carabiners to cross load. We ended up breaking 18 different things!

BEWARE: This makes carabiners break A LOT lower

Carabiners break pretty reliably when pulled the way they are intended, but cross loading them can happen from the nose getting stuck to a sling catching on the gate, so what ACTUALLY happens when you cross load a carabiner.
