Hi Guys,

I was wondering if there were any alternatives to standard rock climbing protection other than the standard nuts, cams, hexes etc. I was wondering if tins of baked beans were acceptable and also what sort of fall they could hold and also how this could be tested? Myself and a friend used this type of protection the other day and here is a video. Does it look safe?

Oh yeah, that looks safe.

Probably safer than a rusty peg.

Love it, my sort of climbing. Carry on!

Cool beans

In reply to Ianto Bach:


Technically, they are runner beans......

In reply to Joel Perkin:

I know someone who did Right Eliminate, before big cams, protecting it with cut to size plastic drain pipe threaded with rope.

In reply to Joel Perkin:

Where on earth did you manage to buy none vegetarian baked beans? I want some.

In reply to Joel Perkin:
