Are permanent quickdraws with deep grooves dangerous?
🕑 Added 2021-03-10 15:35:00 +0000 UTCSooooo.... I moved and got sooooo busy I forgot that this was my transition video to share the big change with everyone. This is my last episode in front of the old gear wall!!! Sam Warren (@lifetime.warranty) pulled these draws off Super Soul Sureshot (https://www.mountainproject.com/route/105988238/supersoul-sureshot) in Arkansas because the quickdraws had deep grooves and replaced them with ClimbTech's wire draws (https://climbtech.com/products/cable-draw-22kn-blue-or-gray/?sku=PD22GRY-075-CTS).
Dog Bones would break before carabiners and the carabiners ALL BROKE ABOVE MBS (sample 1019 was take up to 27kn in the sample 1018).
Sample 1014: 20.00kn - dog bone broke Sample 1015: 25.64kn - carabiner broke Sample 1016: 18.05kn - dog bone broke Sample 1017: 25.76kn - rope broke Sample 1018: 27.02kn - rope broke again Sample 1019: 19.00kn - carabiner broke (same one from tests 1016-1018) Sample 1020: 20.03kn - dog bone broke Sample 1021: 26.14kn - carabiner broke Sample 1022: 20.38kn - dog bone broke Sample 1023: 24.76kn - carabiner broke Sample 1024: 19.38kn - dog bone broke Sample 1025: 32.48kn - steel carabiner broke Sample 1026: 19.10kn - dog bone broke Sample 1027: 24.68kn - dog bone broke
