Pfffft.  Couldn't have said it better myself.
I will offer a case of beer(your choice) to the mod who can permanently pin this thread to Majids profile.

The machinery is without Ego like the warrior of Arno.
He climbs not for money or girls, but just to be at one with the conveniently shaped concrete blocks.
He has sipped deeply of the WD40 and has seen many things.
Those who drink Corona see only ghoulish accident reports, media verbiage of hikers portrayed as climbers and autolock belay devices advertised in the daily montana recorder

hahahahaha thanks majid, i REALLY think your vague might be slightly related to climbing posts of someone dying or nearing dying, and anchor analays with lots of green and red arrows all over an astroid covered in automotive garbage is a worth while addition to RC.com
might i bring up your conspiracy theories I.E. carabiner pins are useless
at least this post was interesting

If the rope was made from carbon nanotubes, then one would probably do.

Clearly you haven't been here very long. The knot in major_sorbet's panties is one of the few consistently awe-inspiring things around here. Stick around long enough and you'll come over to the dark side, as well.

In reply to: As you can easily see from the pictures (and its also mentioned on the linked page, although spelled wrong) it is a Liebherr rig, and not a caterpillar one, so your complaint is useless. That aside: i really would like to know hwo they controled it, and how they got it down. I guess the downclimb was whay harder. qwert
With modern day electronics in these heavy excavation/construction implements, I would imagine that this is computer controlled as it would take impeccable control to work the joysticks regardless of whether or not the operation is remote.

you would be surprised I worked with a few operators over the summer that were good with their trackers it just takes allot of experience.

No doubt there are some ridiculously talented operators. I did heavy excavation work in the summers back in college and even ran excavators some of the time, and you see some of those old timers handle that equipment like surgeons. Regardless, I really doubt that it is not computer controlled.

I'm sorry but that DOES have to do with rock climbing and is not in the spirit of this thread. We need to get more robots climbing buildings in here. Majid I used to feel bad for you with all the people that pick on you here, but now...

Now, I understand you're objection, but was not the "building" that the excavator was climbing made of some form of rock? Perhaps it was crushed and reconstituted, but seems to be fair game for some wood products.
So, I submit that the distinction you are making is arbitrarily narrow. I feel donkeys, dogs, excavators, and probably other yet unnamed self-propelled objects should be fair for this thread.

I believe this was the dog featured in Front Range Freaks, right?
I heard she got permanently taken out by a mountain lion.
I don't know for sure, but there's nothing like spreading rumor.
