Black Diamond teamed up with Alex Honnold to create an inflatable crash pad you wear on your back to protect you from a falls while soloing. The Honnsolo is supposedly good for the first 50 feet. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before pads for greater than 50' are developed.

But is it ethical? That is can you really claim you've soloed something when wearing such equipment?

Just the thing for grit!

In reply to stp:

What fool is going to test it though?

In reply to FactorXXX:

Apparently April Marr was involved in product development, so maybe ask her.

In reply to stp:

Dutch climber Loof Lirpa already makes these doesn't he?

In reply to stp:

Like it

Didn't realize Americans did April fools
Surely they cannot be serious

I prefer the full body spherical zorb design as you can also use it for rapid mountain descents.
