You wont weaken anything by tapping it. There's a thousand times more impact just driving around with a loaded rack, or taking a fall against the rock- unless these folks are wrapping all their gear in bubble wrap. Sure, the molecules arent going to remain in their original config with time and impact, but this is over protective. Have you ever seen the original climbing gear from ye olden days?? Get a life everyone.

@NEGuiding Yeah i mean its just a good practice not to. im not saying it doesnt happen tho :) it happens just add character to your gear. as long as its safe. But a even better practice is to inspect the gear. And thanks i will keep up the reviews till i have nothin let to review till i get money to buy more. Self funded climbing sucks. haha

Why are you hitting a caribiner in a rock? thats damage there.

Good video, the placement is only as good as the rock it's in. Something that would have made it about 10x more useful though: After demonstrating where *not* to place gear it would have been helpful to show an example of a good placement (or at least the best available) on the same wall to put in context and help to demonstrate how to judge the best placement possible in potentially questionable rock.

Good video, lots of people I know protect in dubious flakes. Wish I could get them to see this video.
And I agree with you about the biner tapping. It's just a little tapping, it won't weaken the biner.
Cheers!

LOL Ivan, so a carabiner will catch a lead fall but you can't tap it on a rock? get a clue man...

@mtbmxTr Glad to hear you climb a lot! Nice to see young people getting into the sport! Many climbers get nervous or even throw their gear away when it bangs or falls on something which is crazy. It happens, trust your gear, research your gear and talk to the manufacturers. We test gear, knots and hitches alongside manufacturers in their facilities for educational purposes in our courses. We know our gear! :) Keep up the reviews ;)
