Climbing Science | Gym Climbing Forces

Type: Interesting

Description:
How much force is on the climber, the belayer and the bolt when you whip at the gym?  2 years ago we did some tests at the gym and it was really popular, but people said our hertz, or rate in which the load cell reads, was too slow to pick up the peak force.  So we literally helped create the LineScale3 which is the only load cell to record internally and reads at 1280hz as opposed to 40hz.  I sold @HardIsEasy some of my LS3s and he did some tests at a climbing gym with Mr LineScale3 himself (Andy Reidrich).  Find all the graphs and charts about this on our blog https://www.hownot2.com/post/climbing-science
