I HAVE STANDARDS PEOPLE!
Hey everyone wrapping up some big projects separate from KZread right now. Should be all done and back in the studio in a couple weeks. But I had to take some time before work to address this issue about standards.
Here is a link to the crazy article:

When I was a kid, maybe 14 or 15 years old, I learned to rappel out of a tree on 1/4" hemp rope reading a book by Gaston Rébuffat taken out of the public library for weeks on end. Fortunately I was probably only 10 feet up and the rope never broke. Body abseil hurts.

Lol ... when I was 8 I made my first "zip line" out of some random poly cord climbed a tree to fix the top anchor and bottom anchor was another tree. Well when I tried that bad boy out I clipped a key chain carabiner to my belt loop on my pants and mad it about 10 feet before the inevitable struck lol

@@TheOKayStonemaster hahahaha, I was probably 10-12 years old and remember building a zipline in my front yard between 2 trees. I used the ATV to tension and wrapped it around the tree. just tied a fuck ton of half hitches, like ya- good enough. It worked. I dont remember what kind of rope it was, but it held and it was good fun!
Ive seen people rappel off of water towers with extension chords about 100 ft from the crag where I live. Always wondered if they succeeded ha!

Vintage climbing photos showed us that back in the day people used hawserlaid rope. In my country/area 50m of 12 mm nylon hawser is about half the price of my 50m Tendon dynamic rope (I suspect it's afmy surplus)/a third of other popular brand, honestly I might be tempted to use the hawserlaid. But, I know that nylon is the material used to make kernmantle, so I won't entertain the thought of using rope made of another materials.

Well climbing was a lot different as well. You just never fell.
Just left Baton Rouge for the north last year after 23. I don't miss that humidity one bit
So it’s static which I guess is not terrible for top rope but that combined with around a 500lb breaking load…
Are ya gonna do a climbing fail video soon? I just saw a gnarly whipper on insta. The guy fell far down and backwards eeesh...looked so scary thank you! Miss the vids

Yeah coming soon this job will be done this week and I can travel back to the studio. 🤙🏻
I haven't even started climbing (yet) but damn it this is just common sense to me. If I can't, or don't want to, afford proper equipment to save my life, I won't go climbing.
You’re saving lives
just set website to send you an email when there's a discount. my current rope is beal antidote 10.2 and i bought 50 metres of it for 71 dollars
Hey, if you want an epic fail (or win) look up the Hallett Peak rock slide. A team of boulderers broke...a mountain.

???? It was not caused by boulderers. That's not possible, at all. Bouldering cannot cause a mountain to slide like that. The Hallet Peak slide is thought to have been caused by seismic activity.

@@roo9569 What you're saying actually makes sense, though, as opposed to OP. Big, loose blocks obviously exist in the mountains. Bouldering doesn't cause peaks to slide like the Hallet. Sure, you can cause some relatively minor rockfall, but the weight of a human does not have the potential to break the entire mountain like that.
Or this could be the best troll ever. They all have climbing shoes which throws me off.

quercetin, catechin, chlorogenic acid, potassium, 10% sugar too. put this list on a soda and i'm not drinking that shit.
122°F? That's 50°C! That's horrible. I'm guessing that's a high reading because your car's wasn't parked in the shade, but stay safe dude. No weather for working out
I question your hat standards, sir.
I don't even trust Home Depot for faucets.

There are things in life you can go cheap on; sometimes the Walmart shit is as good as name brand. Brakes....no. Guns...no. Life safety climbing gear.....that is where you buy the most expensive shit. Did you say 122 degrees? Dude. That is ick-nasty!
