PATRONS: Finally I got one out a full day early for you. Lab is getting better every day and I may even film a full episode in it shortly. This turned out better than I thought, the results super interesting, edited tight AF but kept all the info in it, and a found a great thumbnail. Blogs are getting more thorough and less of a pita to make too.

Climbing hangers feel sharp and seem obvious they would be bad for a rope, but for some reason, some people have done this. We test dynamic and static ropes in sharp hangers and hangers that are designed to have curved edges so ropes could be threaded inside of them. In our recent video of the "Texas Rope Trick" https://youtu.be/AkZKaSX6N1M many people asked why not just put the rope directly in the hangers if you had an emergency rappel of bolts not intended for it. Hopefully, this video answers that question. As always, you can find the chart of the data in our blog https://www.hownot2.com/post/ropes-in-sharp-hangers
