Thinking about buying this hook. Will use ir for urbex, especifically for a factory where the lader to enter it is 6m from the floor so I could throuw the hook and climb with a rope
Anyone has experience with this product?
Any recomendations?
Thinking about buying this hook.
Also I would like to know wich rope would you recomend to climb and body rapel equiment free. I tried climbing through a 11mm poliamide and found imposible.
Herp rope could be a good option
Im thinking that is kind of pointless to climb the rope on itself or body rapel through it.
Would be better if I make nots every half meter so i can use it to grab them with my feet and hands and use them for the ascent and descent.
Not sure if I full-static or semi-static would be better
Pic related, the stair is cut up to the door and the entrance has been closed
All I hear are babies crying
Oohh whats the matter sweety? Do you want so tissue, maby some chalk powder for your irritated butt???
Everyday I thank god for my public healthcare
>fat
>leeching on gibs
pathetic
I feel like you'd be better off, or at least more secure, trying to loop a rope around a banister or one of the steps. Throw up a tennis ball with a thin cord attached to it and angle your throw so the tennis goes around the attachment point before falling back down, then use the thin cord to haul up a proper, weight-bearing rope.
You know what, thats a good idea. How do I atach the cord to the rope?
> How do I atach the cord to the rope?
The best practice way is described here (page 79, under 'Preparation'):
https://www.cavediggers.com/files/vertical/5rig_adv.pdf
But for 5 or so meters, tie a water bottle directly to your main rope, fill with some water to add weight, and get lucky with your throw.
That pdf about lightweight caving is very interesting. I would like to ask you, do you apply this techniques yourself? How much weight do you save compared to tradictionals methods?
Sorry I meant the cord to the ball but a water bottle will do the trick
Very useful thank you
I wont complicate my life for small climbs, but I would definitly have this on my mind for when I will really need it
>Cheap lader
I dont wish to go around with a big ass metal thing banging everywhere and making a lot of noise and it being dificult to maneuver
Its easy to secure the rope. Just make loop and pass through it the side of the rope wich is secured to the top. That way you have one side of the rope wich os fixed and the other wich you can pull to recover the entire rope
>OP is pretty cute
Thank you :-*
This, 6m can be climbed easily
i didn't read the whole pdf but this shit is ridiculous and unsafe as frick: relying on a stopper knot to work against a loop is moronic. also, running rope against rope as is intended to recover the rope in the picture is completely moronic. just having any rope connect directly to another rope/cord via loops should be avoided in general
it's funny how the ultralight meme is extending, from backpackers to cavers
I agree it's sketchy as frick, plus good luck untying those knots. Might as well use a fiddlestick or ghost knot.
>ultralight bad
I'm the guy who rappels with 6mm accessory cord; I mostly do it as a 'frick you' to climbers who won't admit that 22 kn breaking strength is a force that will never, ever be generated in a static system.
Any simple knot or bend should do the trick, you're only using it to haul the actual rope into place so it needn't be particularly complicated.
> Any simple knot or bend should do the trick, you're only using it to haul the actual rope into place so it needn't be particularly complicated.
Knots tend to get stuck while hauling.
Use a low profile knot like tying the cord into a gripping sailors hitch around the rope, then adhesive-taping over the knot and remaining tail.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gripping_sailor%27s_hitch
This is obviously the safest way, but once the rope is in place, how can he secure it? You can't ascend a double strand if it's not knotted up top. Also, doing so in such a way that's retrievable. I've used a ghost knot for that before but it's scary as frick.
That's a cool knot, I never saw that before. I work with professional climbers and they just use a simple overhand knot to join two ropes for hauling; that way there's a flat side which slides over ledges easy.
OP is pretty cute.
If he tied some knots in the rope before hauling it up that might provide enough of a grip to climb up. Just hold both strands together as you move up.
Obviously wouldn't be able to use any sort of ascending device but it's not like he needs one for such a short distance.
why the frick do you need a rope for that just climb the ladder on the outside rail instead of the steps
if you want to go up ropes buy one or two second hand jumars for going up, and a second hand ATC/reverso/whatever for going down and other gear to use with them. research how to use them and practice before using them for real, don't be an idiot. and a real harness obviously, swiss harness and other ropes harness are moronic, just get a cheap one at aliexpress for 10 bucks, it doesn't have to be an actual rated climbing harness
also just do a knot if you want to join the cord to a rope, simple overhand is fine as you say, don't do a fricking splice lmao
What part do you need the rope?
>cut through fence
>walk up stairs
>stand on hand rails and go around locked gate
>continue going up stairs
???
The tradeoff with ropes is the thicker it is, the easier it is to use (esp. climb) but the harder it is to transport. I use 5.9mm Sterling Powercord for my ultralight rappel setup, at that diameter you can't do better for strength and abrasion resistance. But I'd need some kind of ascender setup to climb it, probably a Petzl nano traction.
>body rapel
Who are you, Tintin? Use an ATC or a figure 8, it will cost you $20 and work on any rope. For a harness, google 'swiss seat'
>tie knots every 18 inches
Could work if you're strong. Practice this at home before you're getting chased by rottweilers. It's also possible to ascend a rope using only 2 prusik knots as in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43T5WAAcoWY&ab_channel=mtninstitute -- maybe unnecessary but a really good survival skill to have.
>full static or semi static
For your plan, I don't think there's any possibility of shock-loading the rope, unless a security guard flings you out of a window with the rope tied around your ankle. So you want static.
Out of curiosity, how are you gonna get through the door?
Do you have caving background anon?
Obiusly I would go safer with profesional gear, but I want to keep it simple. I dont think that for the small climbs I want to do I need profesional guear. Like I want the quickest set up you know? To remain under the radar
>Tintin
Haha, thats old school mountainering, there were no 8 figurines back in the day
>How are you going to get through the door?
My plan is to access the cealing and find an entrance from there

I apreciate your concern for me, but if Im being honest the climb is part of the game. I like go climb and I like heights. The other day I climbed for example a telephon tower, and I exposed myself a little too much maby
you're not gonna rappel up 2m let alone 6m, fatty
Cry about it butthole
>Doesn't deny the fatness.
Cry about it
Anon, I'm not even the one who called you fat. You Fatty McFatters.
based PrepHoleposter
You're not fat, but you are a twink.
homies never post body on PrepHole but on other boards do it without being asked
imagine this tight gay body getting held down and raped by a pack of crusty homeless ugly bastards in an abandoned factory.... mmm...

bro how you gonna climb up with no muscle?
urbex is for moronic homosexuals
>ooooOoooOooOOOOOhhhhhh its an empty building whoooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Fricking have a nice day
Seethe more, troon. Tell your prostitute mother to stop shoveling tendies and estrogen pills down your throat.
>t. pig
Don't forget to factor in $8000 for the hospital ride and court fees
This bait isn't subtle enough.

Could've done better. The larping premise is funny but the bait is too obvious. Herbs.
How many pullups can you do
climbing rope is done with the legs. hands are just for holding on
i recommend you don't
but in the alternative i hope you fall and bust your ass
>Any recomendations?
Don't.
I recommend just leaning on the wall you want to bypass. Your sheer mass will cause it to topple asunder
wtf is up with this board.
let a man climb a fricking rope.
>let a man climb a fricking rope.
He will literally die, i wouldn't want that on my conscience. Atleast we've tried to talk him out of it even if in the end he decides to do it anyway. You know the saying:
>the fatter you are, the harder you fall etc
>nu-out is a bunch of limp wristed, terminally online, fatherless losers who get angry when anyone tries to go outside
>nu-out actively discourages going outside
He is probably going to buy his grappling hook and use it. You are going to seethe and beat your soft little hands against your keyboard. Same thing with the Camino Fattie. Everyone told him he couldn't do it, and he's doing it and giving live updates right now.
There are those who go outside, and then there's nu-out.
bumping to offset this moron (that doesn't go outside)
there are a few approaches you could take.
I would not refrain from using gear, as it will make your life whole lot easier.
Two easiest options i would see are: proper ascenders and an improvised harness from a 120cm sling(isnt comfy but gets the job done, also compact). Or if it is too expensive/heavy, you could still go with two prussiks, which you can tie with an accessory cord (has to be of smaller diameter than the main rope).
As per hook for climbing stuff... Dont, there are far better and lighter options, with the first being a simple monkey fist. throw it down, tie into both strands and u gtg.
Now that i think about it, cant you just buy a cheap ladder lol
"...and that's how I impaled myself on a rusty pipe!"
I have that exact hook for dredging lakes. It's pretty rust proof.
find anything cool?
I once found a little silver mirror that if anyone looks into it, then it shows them how they're going to die.
So how you gonna go out?
Milked and eaten
Hooks suck. I got one back when I was a kid, and it would come undone ever so often. Only time it would ever get stuck properly was when I'd figure out I couldn't make the climb and tried to get it back down.
For getting up to ladders, branches etc, it's easier to use some paracord tied into a weighted knot (monkey fist is what I use, but there are others), throw that up then use it to pull a rope up.
For the rope, it doesn't really matter for short climbs. For longer climbs, there's special ropes that are made to stretch a little so the rope doesn't break your bones when you fall. Standards vary by country, so you'd best go to a store that sells limbing supplies and ask there.
You're going to get it stuck on something and then leave it there.
Looks like a good way to ramp up the charges from simple trespass to breaking and entering.
Sorry I don't live in america.
