 |  | Dry tooling walls
< on 5/19/2006 8:17 PM >
|  | | | Has anyone else ever tried dry tooling a brick or rock wall to gain access a place? I have had some good results so far except it dulls the hell out of the points. It seems that if the brick is very old that you can really get your crampons and ice tools to dig in. On a side note crampons work great for shimming up the nylon mooring lines of a ship.
It was in September, we saw their silhouettes fade away, outlined on the horizon against the rays of the setting sun. |

Yes with crampons and a good pair of technical ice tools. They are great for grabbing on the smallest of edges. If you are delicate you can climb without scarring the wall.

as a climber, you should know what that does to a rope. in case you don't, it'll tear fibers, alter the construction of the rope, and weaken the hell out of it. you should NEVER DO THAT TO A ROPE, especially since the crew may not notice untill too late. In my book that's about the same as vandalism, permissible as a last-resort only.

I use a rope tension grab that I made but I like to have them as a last resort in case I start to slide out of control.

| | | | yeah, that's fine, anything made to work on a rope will do, but anything that penetrates or abraids the surface is a no-go. although that must be a pretty large device to work on a mooring line.

| | | | I've been thinking using icetools to climb up brick walls, but since its usually very sketchy, you can not secure your self at all, it can damage the wall etc. I have decided not to try it. Theres usually easier and more reasonable ways.
But to certain places, I'm tempted to try normal rock shoes and climb up. Some call this buildineering, am I right?
