When this goes live, we'll be mid-filming with Hard is Easy for an Intro to Sport Climbing which will incorporate of course the basics but also how strong the gear is and the forces you can generate. I think that would be great for brand-new people to get a holistic view of their gear and not just the cliche myths.
TODAY'S POST: Termination plates retain more strength out of your rope they say. How much you ask? Well, we couldn't find that anywhere so we tested it. Turns out it's 80% of "full strength" instead of the 70% we get in knots. What would you use these for? Thank you Mark Hanna for donating these plates for science. Data is on the blog at https://www.hownot2.com/post/termination-plates
