Funny/Sketchy Misuses of Climbing Gear
|
Working in construction i see numerous misuses of climbing gear on a regular basis. For example i once witnessed some roofers nail multiple 10.2mm static ropes to a roof and then proceed to rappel down them while laying shingles. yesterday i happened across this gem |

I usually only use found, retired biners to open my beer, but somehow the insert on the seat belt buckle on my truck is a go-to for bottles. |
|
I used a retired rope and webbing, ascender, pulley and gri to mechanical advantage a massive sofa onto a second floor balcony that wouldn't fit up the stairs. Worked awesome. |

Munter hitch is excellent to lower a stand up piano down a few flights of stairs. Spotter recommended. |

2002, moved from a 4th floor apartment to my current house. Using Home Depot rope, not climbing rope, we tied up the sofa. I ran the rope through my ATC and had a bunch of helpers lower the sofa over the railing. I lowered the sofa to the ground floor. Me braced against a metal railing, 1 locker, 1 act and a harness. Worked great. |

Climbed a tree and cut it down over my house. Rigged ropes on each section I cut and lowered it to the ground. It was fun. I didn't damage my house. |
