ODH is the 5yr old on the knoll. You all saw him wearing that baby bandicoot buggerer hat. Thats what he does. Buggers bandicoots and wanders up stream to boast about it at the Tuggeranong Mall. None of you have seen his chipped overbolted routes with names painted at the base in the ACT either.

Wow. I'm amazed that placement holds like that. Cool.

Yeah I'm pretty surprised one lobe held him too.

I suspect I'd get in a LOT of trouble if I tried that sort of placement ...

It's hard to see in the video because it's not quite clear enough, but I think all three lobes are in contact with the rock:

It's also a 000 so it's only rated to 4kN.

It's not that amazing that the gear held. There is a lot of rope out to absorb the fall, the cam is orientated for the fall and being placed in granite means there is less chance of it slipping. You still wouldn't want to rely on it as the only piece between you and the deck though (which it isn't).

Argh, people that change posts whilst I'm replying :P

With a better look it does appear that that second lobe is at least partially wedged, that makes a lot more sense. I was thinking if it was just one lobe, even if the third lobe as touching the rock, the cam would just twist so there would be no camming forcing applied by the third (or second) lobe. With the second one being in, it can't do that, though the torque is being completely carried by the horizontal shaft of the head, cool.

In granite these sort of placements are bomber. In poorer quality sandstone however...

Quarryman - Think the YDS grade may be a bit of a sandbag.

Re: the C3 video. Is it just me, or does it look like a bomber #2 wire placement about 4cm above where the cam is? (I know sometimes it's hard to judge a placement from a single picture)

Looks like there might be a small wire just under it too (aorund where the trigger bar overlaps the crack in the photo).

Chis Turner climbs "The Fear" on Sydney's North Head, 1992.

Grade 17, considered scarier than climbs twice it's grade, at a time when their were no climbs twice it's grade.

A great reminder that Robin Hood is not the only place for men in tights.
