Home-made goodies
< on 3/2/2006 4:47 PM >

Me and my buddy are looking to get up a 35 ft wall. We can hop and skip and pull ourselves through all the ledges until we hit this one.

Is there any way I can like make a grappling hook out of reebar or sumthing of that nature?

I climb things.

Do you have access to a MIG welder? You could definitely make one from $20 worth of parts at Home Depot if you had access to equipment to do so.

A grappling hook used by prisoners to escape. If they can do it with limited resources, you can do it! ;)

More then likely would be easier to just buy a PoS like http://www.amazon....v=glance&n=3375251
the rope is crap and the hook isn't the best, but it's pretty much the only one under $100.. But I don't see it being hard to make a hook out of Rebar or one of my buddies made one out of the huge ass nails

It's feasible, but a bit tough to cary a 35' extension ladder with you. N.

If you can bend the rebar I'll see if I can find the old Special Forces plans, if your interested.

If you can get to a heat source you can easily bend the rebar. N.

In all reality something like that would be very easy to make and more then likely pretty cheap, all you really need is steel cable a few lil connector guys then something to go across if its pipes or lil steel bars..

[edit: better formatting on this link] http://www.uer.ca/...rrpage=2&pp#post25

Id like to see the special forces rebar version though. Personally I have the POS, with new rope, and it works.

I'm thinking that rebar might be too soft... to easy to bend once you start climbing. I don't know for sure. I haven't worked with a lot of it, but I know I made a yard type Christmas tree out of rebar a couple of years ago, and when I put the lights on it, it bent over like a wet noodle. Just from lights. I think it was 3/8, but not sure. If you get up to a size that would hold a humans weight, would it be too heavy to throw that high?

go to a hardware store and grab a few of those bigass nails that are like a half inch thick and a foot long, bend a few into the right shape weld and your good..

You could always treat the rebar, cold work or temper or such. Of course I'd end up doing it Ghetto-style, with a propane torch and a bucket of water.
I'd still like to see the plans, Mark. Please???

I think there are different diameters of rebar, it is mild steel, no? I can't imagine a 1/2" round mild steel failing but the tempering is a good idea. N.

I'm guessing you should buy a hook, a propane torch will take a year to heat rebar. An Oxy-Acetylene outfit would be the way to go, they're cheap $300 for a little one, and not that $30 hardware store one that runs out of 02 in 5 min. A vice and a good hammer would be nice. And a welder and a guy who knows how to use it. I know a guy who made a rebar ladder and one of the rungs fell off because he was just learning with the welder. The design was superb, but the weld penetration wasn't. He has become much better since, but do you want to trust your life to a poor weld? If you don't have any of the above equipment and have not been using it for a few years and build this anyway........Best of luck to you, you'll need it. I'm not trying to discourage you, but I have seen a few posts by people that talk like they read this stuff in a book and never actually have done it. I'd just hate to see someone get hurt. And yes I do have this stuff and have been welding for over 15 years.

You know, I made an AotD that kind of relates to this...

Oh yeah... It was falling on rebar...

Rebar just scares me cause I can always see myself slipping and impaling myself on a piece.

If there are two of you, a large wooden pole with footholds may be enough, but it would need to be held by somebody other than the climber. Making it sectional would be simple and effective, and assembly would be relatively quick.
