	FROSTWORKS - Sentinel Climbing Nuts
		The long nuts carry well on your climbing harness and their flexible stainless wire slings enable them to reduce rope drag without always requiring the extension of quick draws.
		The main factors affecting nut performance are the nut's taper and the amount of surface contact it makes with the rock.
		The taper (the angle between opposing surfaces of the nut as they contact the rock) is the primary parameter effecting all aspects of performance.

	Make a Climbing Wall
		If your climbing wall is vertical and extends to the floor, it will distribute vertical force to the floor.
		Secure the top plate of the climbing wall to the ledger using two screws per joist, one on each side.
		After the climbing wall is put up it will be much harder to correct a poorly seated t-nut.

	synrock climbing wall construction
		The standard climbing wall t-nut is coarse thread 3/8 inch diameter.
		Properly cared for, the T-nuts in your climbing wall should withstand many years of heavy use.
		If you are really, really poor or just can’t get T-nuts you can always use a washer and a nut on the back of a panel to attach holds.

		Inspect the placement for adequate constriction of the crack and test the nut's security (the degree to which it can resist being accidentally dislodged by the climbing rope) by giving an appropriately light outward jerk on the sling.
		Nuts have the advantage over pitons in that they are more naturally at home in vertical placements.
		A nut may even fit between knobs on the surface of the rock; a three -nut nest has been set between two knobs that was good enough for aid.

		They are not expensive and nothing is more fun than climbing on a wall full of holds so you will need to plan for the future when adding T-Nuts.
		The benefit of a T-Nut over a regular nut is the fact that it makes attaching and moving holds very easy and less time cosuming.
		The other reason is because sometimes it's difficult to get to the back of the climbing wall to hold a nut while it's tightened.

	Needle Sports - Nuts Story
		Balance climbing was then seen as the only climbing style, which meant that a climber should be able to climb down what he had cautiously climbed up, a style that Paul Preuss pioneered and carried to extremes with his "no piton" ethic at the beginning of the century in the Alps.
		John Brailsford believes however, that it is extremely difficult to credit anybody with the first use of machined nuts because, as with most of these things, it was the spontaneous practise of many people with an engineering background that was so commonplace in UK climbing circles at that time.
		The nut runner worked on the same principle as the chockstone but it had the added refinement of having the sling threaded through the hole of the nut - a great advantage over carrying a pocketful of loose pebbles, then threading them, often "in extremis".

		Nuts go on the first loop, small hexes and tricams on the second, small cams on the third, and spare biners on the forth.
		My nuts are all on two biners, tricams on one biner, hexes as needed on one biner and except for smallest aliens each Friend and Camalot has it's own biner.
		I've seen nuts shear over a foot down a sandstone crack (that was a fun one to clean) and I'd think there was some significant energy absorption going on as the nut carved a track in the stone.

	Rock Climbing Forums: Climbing Disciplines: Aid Climbing: Pika nut buster
		I find nuts that have been subjected to falls or aid climbing very difficult to remove without a nut tool and hammer.
		On free routes only the nut tool is carried, and since I don't fall on free climbs very often I'm willing to risk fixing a wire or two to avoid carrying another 8oz of weight.
		Every gadget out isn't a must-have for wall climbing, but IMO some specialized gear is worth the coin (assuming one already has food and gas in the tank).

		Ground squirrels will climb the bushes to harvest filberts and can take pecans and other thin-shelled nuts from the ground.
		It is well to look at the local squirrel and bird populations and size up their possible effects before putting much time and effort into planting susceptible nut tree species.
		This will work if the nut tree is isolated so that squirrels cannot jump from other trees, buildings, or wires to the nut tree, and if the lowest branches are too high for the squirrels to jump to them from the ground.

		In the second climb there is on piece between the top piece and the belayer.
		It's not how vertical the climb is that matters, but the amount of friction in the system, due to either zig-zagged rope through biners, or around overhangs or corners.
		Zippering, rope drag and all other considerations (all worthy and should of course be taken into consideration) aside, there is nothing inherently unsafe about clipping a biner to the nut and dropping the rope into the basket, as long as you are aware of the limitations and work to mitigate them.

		Steel was just too hard for micro nuts and didn’t allow them to seat into placements, while aluminum was too soft and didn’t provide enough structural strength.
		Additionally, on their larger sizes, they are able to introduce curves into the faces of the Astro Nuts, giving them a massive placement advantage over regular, straight-sided pieces.
		Between a rock and an even harder place where a person can find solace on the side of a cliff is a sort of spiritual place for many rock climbers to escape and release the pressures of everyday life.
