Elcapinyoazz,
thanks for those pics, I will have to study them for use on the Grotto Simulator. I can see they could work somewhat [as to my design goals] when oriented downwards and anchored to the ladder rails. I would need 20 identical grips as per the method of this way of training.
The black stair tread grip is also a way to make the likes out of wood of something similar the way your handholds load the fingers vs. thumb.
Thanks, still working on a better prototype
D
ps Yes that angled surface would load the fingers more but still require the intervention of the thumb to generate enough compression to hold the grip.

1. you will be climbing this, right?
2..Or you buy just 3 feet and hang on while a winch line lifts the end of that 3' piece.
1. Is not declared unwise use but 2. is. No lifting of people
McMaster Carr is not the cheapest place to buy but they have very quick delivery. Soon they will be selling drugs in CO and WA.

Well played.
I've seen seen it listed places with a metal bracket with a loop for easy hanging which seems like it might be more versatile than a spliced loop, so I'll probably buy it preplumbed from one of those vendors.
Then again, it might swing more like that...
But it will be less likely to wear out...
Stupid analysis paralysis.

Carried a 115 pounds on a barbell behind my neck for 800 yards. That was the easy part.
Dragged 120 pounds on a steel sled across pavement. 200 yards walking forward. 200 yards walking backwards. then again 200 yards walking forwards and finally 200 yards walking backwards. It was the last 50 yards walking backwards that really got my lungs working in hyper mode.
Then I flipped a medium size tractor tire for 100 yards.
That was enough.

Training put to use.
Sunday Feb 16, 2014 Temps at Guernsey State Park, WY = 63F --shorts and T-shirt. With this temp, we could climb in the shade and stay warm. Scarpelli and I headed for the perched cove of the Maroon Tower Wall.
While on the first attempt of the FA of the largest roof in the cove I got an exercise induced asthma attack so I lowered off at the second roof bolt and did 2 hits of Albuterol. Again after climbing to the base of the roof, asthma, but I went for the horizontal climbing anyway figuring the needed adrenalin to soon be secreted would suppress the asthma. After a series of long reaches and many lounges the FA was secured at the anchor bolts and no asthma.
A storm began brewing to the west. Rain torrents in Sybile Cyn and just after Morton Pass driving on ice and with no visiblity and temp = 33F. A welcome back home to the Laramie Valley that same day.

Great send. My kid uses a nebulizer with albuterol and pulmacort -but I'm hoping he'll get over it. BTW - does that summit spike go too?

totally agree about the back stabilization posted by Ryan D. I have been doing that fairly regularly for the past few weeks and it definitely makes a huge difference and not just on the back. my knees feel better too

The circus came to town, house was tented for termites for the first time in about 35 years.
When they do this they have to have the gas co turn off the service. When they turned it back on today I had a 6 cfh leak.
So!
I dug ditches.
The 60+YO service main is rusted out so I get to dig up the front yard and replace it. Finished about 50 ft of it today.
Only about 20 more ft tomorrow and then demo all the old pipe.
On top of that I don't even get a hot shower!

I just finished a long, six day work week hanging doors, laying tile, installing cabinets; it sure felt like training. I decided to work Saturday due to the inch of snow forecast. Feel the burn.
Today is a rest day. I did do a 3 mile hike with the wife and a couple friends, but now I'm resting. Really.
Should be drying up nicely this week so hopefully getting out on the rock next Saturday.

Knocked off 17 kms. on the Birkie Trail. Took me about 2 hours. 5 degrees at the start- Had to watch out for a case of Hooter Bite! Snow was a little slow and I was dragging ass the last 15 minutes.
