I would be very interested in coming along, I have access to noobs as well.
It might not be feasible due to limitations on amount of data that can be collected but i'll throw out some ideas to toss around. Some real climbing situation variables could be placing gear blind and or under stress, clipping the gear and giving it a wiggle to simulate some rope drag shifting the gear a bit, equalizing bad gear, rip equalized pieces/3 piece anchors and the differences between cordelette/sliding x/rope/other configurations, differences between passive and active gear in flakes...maybe some placed knots?
I have done a very small amount of 'testing' of some old HB cams, in one case the surface of the rock (sandstone near Berowra) sheared and caused the cam to pull, so there could be some rock damage. In another case bending of the axle and the change in lobe contact caused it to pull. I have a partly mangled 2.5 HB quadcam you could use. |
