Too much trust in these tools lol

Gambling life for literally NO reason

When placed correctly, they are unbelievably strong. The forces generated from a lead fall (placing gear) aren’t as significant as many believe. The ropes used for climbing are dynamic lines with a substantial percentage of elongation. The more rope that’s out (the higher you climb from the belay), the lower the peak force becomes. Additionally, the belayer absorbs a lot of the impact when proper technique is used. In general the Risk is heavily mitigated with proper knowledge, technique, equipment and experience. Many of us climbers still climb routes that aren’t well-protected, use bad gear, and have a lot of no-fall territory. This is a risk vs. reward decision that’s individual, but in general, climbing is fairly safe, or as safe as one ones to make it.

A mountain climber slipped on the snow cap off the cliff and died in Sichuan province. His death is captured on live camera. I really don’t get mountain climbers. Why do they risk their lives for literally nothing?

Question , when you finally climb up and go down by foot on a different path, who recovers all those gadgets?

This is crazy! He climbed to the top of the Empire State Building climbing 1435ft.

These cams can hold 2,000 lbs of weight pretty easily.

if you drive a car or keep a lithium ion battery in your pocket daily theres not much you can say

Let me tell you this, Rock climbers, cave divers the most braindead activity

Forgot to slap it and say that's not going anywhere

This and cave diving both of these are more like s**icide practice 🤷‍♂️

A terrifying alien creature enter the space station...🎬

I can trust the tools, they are tested with high safety margins, but can you trust random rocks?

Oh that thing is bomber. 💯 would take a whip on that.

They fall and the anchors can pull out, they have to hope that not all of the anchors pull out...

Looks like Friends. It's a cam that rotates into the crack to lock itself in place. Correctly placed, they can hold a lot of weight and keep you from falling.

The people that climb are fucking retards

… I’m going to hell.

My thoughts exactly!

Among the dumbest activities anyone can engage in.

PUT A NUT IN THE CRACK.

Yay, you climbed a rock!

Yeah um no

This is why I don't fuck with outdoor climbing like this.

Can't be me

Yup that doesn’t look safe my guy

That is a difficult placement. Pear-shaped pocket with a flaring bottom. Literally about as difficult to protect as it comes A cam placed in the top section can walk itself downward to the larger pocket which is flared and can't be used anyway. Balls out and skip it 😁

stupid way to spend your day when other people are fighting for their lives in a Hospital someplace. Its strange to me how little respect people have for life.

Free solo climbers: pff, rookies.

This shit made my palms sweat, fuckkkkkkk no

What is TF2 Scout doin ova ther?

Ive been there on a crux near the top of the route before! My days of leading trad routes are over.

You can buy those on Temu, they are cheap and last for a lifetime!

They actually work better than most people think they do

That’s why they use several of them in case one, two, or three of them fail.
