Highline whipper forces on an anchor - 73 meter line at CRG (Consumnes River Gorge) Placerville
Added 2018-05-09 15:00:01 +0000 UTCWe did more tests with the dynomometer on a longer line... a 73 meter long line this time. We also had more whipper volunteers for more data. Thank you Michael Melner, Scott Hong and Mitch Jacobs for slackraficing yourself for science.
