    Definitely makes you think about NOT canyoneering with an 80 kg steel or concrete weight attached directly to you.








    Hope not many folks are doing that anymore. Apparently, it used to be a popular thing for climbers to do, or there would not be all these tests set up for people climbing with 80 kg steel weights attached to their harnesses. Climbers??? What can ya say??? they do whacky things!!!
