Recyclable climbing holds: performance comparison of a BioResin with conventional PU resin

Sustainable materials for climbing holds will only gain acceptance if they are similarly performant to conventional resins. However, existing standards do not adequately capture climbing-relevant factors, such as texture.

Save to calendar

In our Innosuisse-funded project, we are developing test methods that take precisely these aspects into account. In this lecture, we will present the results and insights into the climbing-specific performance of BioResin compared to PU resin for the first time.

Set adhesive hooks correctly - best practice

Adhesive hooks are much more complicated to install than drill hooks. Unfortunately, many developers/refurbishers are still deterred by this. This does not have to be the case. Gerhard Schaar from the climbing infrastructure expert bolting.eu shows what "best practice" looks like!

Lead Rope Solo - Draft for a risk assessment

Lead rope soloing, or belayed solo climbing, is developing into a discipline in its own right. Dozens of forums, blogs and reports online show the growing interest in this very special form of climbing. In a risk analysis, Daniel Gebel, developer at EDELRID, will show how LRS differs from classic rope team climbing.
