You're seriously defending your climbing to a bunch of anonymous people on a climbing site that you yourself troll and view as a joke? Get some help man. While a good rant you're contradicting yourself too much. This can be a good troll tactic but try being a bit more subtle. if youre going to tell people they dont climb little dimped chad you better be out climbing more ... ya little hypocrit ... i noticed you posted NON rockclimbing photos ... pot calling the kettle black utter and total contempt I was just following the online wisdom of a great online climber.

you are indeed a "great" RC "expert" climber ... ya non-climbing thang a few more non-climbing totally posed photos with awwwsum photoshop ... from this week partner cleaning my gear on the "first 5.12 in north america" ... realistically it is a one move wonder with most of it being 5.9 ... took a whipper on a micronut and tested out my 20$ deadly harness ... partner was probably a bit pissed as he thought it was "mostly 5.9" which it was my partner on the classic ultrasoft squamish "10-", really a 5.8, before he took a whipper on my 30$ rock empire cam ... god i luv it when other people test your gear that the intrawebbers tell ya yr gonna die on ya should just go climb

PS, people's opinions aren't always a matter of safety either. Sometimes they're just opinions on how they like to do something. Sometimes, they even have good reasons for those opinions. Using a daisy for cleaning anchors is a good example of this. I think that using one for this purpose is silly. Not because I think it is unsafe, but because I generally don't want to carry extra crap up the climb and because there is almost always extra draws/slings on hand to clip into the anchors. So, I'd offer my opinion that a daisy is not the best use of a noob's money, at least for anchor cleaning. See there...I can offer an opinion without belittling anyone and can give (what I think) are good reasons for that opinion that have nothing to do with how much/hard I climb or whether I have a picture of Beth Rodden using a daisy. You should try it.

It looks like you had some unusually dry weather in your area this past week. I'd love go get out but alas it's winter and the pin in my shoulder doesn't agree with ice climbing anymore. For the next couple of months I'll be cast into the gym for some short 45 foot climbs on plastic. Then again I do get to go winter backpacking!

Do you mean just using the ends like a normal sling ? Should be no problem.

or clip one end and any SINGLE loop ... a nylon daisy wont fail ... an individual pocket might blow in rare circumstances, but the damn thing is a fully rated sling end to end

Of course this isn't the intended use of a daisy chain but I've seen it work. Edit: I still can't type or spell worth a damn.

Now if you use one biner on two loops (end of daisy and a bar tacked loop) then you could be fucked. No personal anchor system is fool proof. Every single personal anchor system used today has a way(s) that if implemented will result in it's failure.

Whoever had that idea needs to think again. Daisies aren't Screamers. Screamers are designed for the stitching to rip. Daisies are not. When the pockets of a daisy rip out, the webbing itself can be damaged. Daisies have failed in factor-2 falls in the field and in the lab, as Chris Harmston, former BD Quality Assurance Manager explains:
Chris Harmsto wrote: Re: Belay anchors: why not use daisy chains? Author: Chris Harmston Date: 1997/12/16 Forums: rec.climbing Daisy's are weaker than runners because, as the pockets rip out, damage to the webbing occurs at the pocket tacks. In static testing the pockets rip out until you are in the standard runner configuration. The web breaks at the damaged area of one of the pocket tacks. In factor 2 falls with 185 lbs of steel I have seen some break outright without popping all the pockets! I have also seen them hold factor 2 falls and pop all pockets. Dynamic loading is not the same as the slow pull we use for batch testing and rating. Runner materials do not stretch like your ropes does. Use your rope for your primary anchor and use the daisy as a backup and as the adjustability. I have heard reports of daisy's breaking in factor 2 aid falls. The samples I have seen that broke in the field were fairly well worn. Daisy's get worn quite quickly and their strength degrades accordingly. Use your rope as the primary anchor!

Didn't say that was what happened Jay; just that was the idea that is perpetuated. Thanks for linking that study! I've seen a single pocket rip on a very short fall and as the study you linked reported there was visible damage to the webbing. As such I like to use some cord and a purcel prussic as my personal anchor. Actually I'll use the PP as my initial anchor tie in then clove hitch my rope to the anchor whenever possible.

all this was hashed out on RC before ... which of course is about all telling people to do stuff only your or my way .... just one of the ways that youll die on RC that has no bearing on what happens in the real world Hi, I currently have a few Yates Daisies. I have been told be various "experts" that the blowing a single 4 kN pocket on a daisy can compromise the entire 22 kN sling itself, thus causing the failure of the entire daisy. Could you let me know if this is true? Thanks for you help, ..... As long as you are connected in CORRECTLY to the daisy and not clipping between loops(Death Clipping). Our daisy's will pull the pockets at 4-5kN without damaging the structural integrity of the webbing. The daisy still tests over 22kN end to end. Hope this helps John Yates

Hope this helps John Yates So, Yates claims their daisies are not susceptible to the failure mode that BD found. BD does not disclose what brand of daisies they found failed, so it cannot be determined whether BD observed this failure mode in Yates daisies. Thus, as usual, what point you're trying to make, if any, is unclear. In the unlikely event that you can follow simple logic, you should easily be able to see that your argument, which amounts to the following, is ludicrous: 1. BD found that some properly clipped daisies can fail in a factor-2 fall. 2. Yates claims that their own daisies cannot. 3. Therefore, BD's findings can safely be ignored. Jay

Jay and in the real world this has no relevance, if youre taking FF2 falls on static materials, you should re-evaluate everything you do about climbing ... but DAMN you just HAVE TO BE RIGHT mista jay ... heres a REAL drop test that camp did on a dyneema daisy ... but dont worry it didnt break and no dummies died http://www.climber.co.uk/...item=583&cate=27 so let me ask how many ways the people will die if they clip a single loop of a daisy ... how many have died clipping a single loop of a daisy to clean the anchors or on rap? clipping a single loop of a daisy aint whats going to kill you ... but then its RC, so thats all we argue about and its deadliness

Go cry me a river with yr crocodile tears The same old daisy argument and the same "evidence" has been hashed out a million tines before The real story? ... It has no relevance to how and what people climb in the real world ... And clipping a single daisy loop aint ehats going to kill u out there ... Go out and climb today ... Ill be back for more senseless intraweb fun after a few pitches Weird that people cry about be belittling the belittlers ... When theres active threads about burqas and women who arent good climbers by someone who doesnt even climb ... And much more RC goodness

See, once again, someone has provided a logical argument to support an opinion and you do nothing but belittle them, and the rest of the users on this website for that matter. Same old song. Belittling mistah jay is a classic example of belittling the belittlers ... Go cry me a river with yr crocodile tears The same old daisy argument and the same "evidence" has been hashed out a million tines before The real story? ... It has no relevance to how and what people climb in the real world ... And clipping a single daisy loop aint ehats going to kill u out there ... Go out and climb today ... Ill be back for more senseless intraweb fun after a few pitches Weird that people cry about be belittling the belittlers ... When theres active threads about burqas and women who arent good climbers by someone who doesnt even climb ... And much more RC goodness And Bear takes the high road yet again...enjoy your climb.

BD does not disclose what brand of daisies they found failed, so it cannot be determined whether BD observed this failure mode in Yates daisies. Thus, as usual, what point you're trying to make, if any, is unclear. In the unlikely event that you can follow simple logic, you should easily be able to see that your argument, which amounts to the following, is ludicrous: 1. BD found that some properly clipped daisies can fail in a factor-2 fall. 2. Yates claims that their own daisies cannot. 3. Therefore, BD's findings can safely be ignored. Jay and in the real world this has no relevance, if youre taking FF2 falls on static materials, you should re-evaluate everything you do about climbing ... ] You're wrong. In the real word, according to Chris Harmston, daisies have failed from factor-2 falls.

Daisy's get worn quite quickly and their strength degrades accordingly. Use your rope as the primary anchor! Sorry that the facts don't fit your beliefs Jay
