Lead falls in climbing gyms - how much forces does it generate? Climbing Science!
Added 2020-02-19 14:30:59 +0000 UTCWhat forces are generated during a lead fall at a climbing gym? At Pipeworks climbing gym in Sacramento, CA, Michael Melner, TJ Gillick and Ryan Kowalski do some falling for science. We put dynamometers on the climber, belayer and the quickdraw in order to find out how many kilonewtons we generate. Our gear ratings are more helpful when we understand the forces we generate.
