Rewrite this
[edit]This should be more of summary or list article that gives links to the individual articles on the gear. Currently, there is too much text, and without the attached references from the articles. There is also a lot of other grear that has Wikipedia articles that is not listed here? 78.16.238.146 (talk) 21:43, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
wrong link
[edit]Herzog links not to the climber, but to the SA guy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.144.254.43 (talk) 22:59, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
- Done.thanks. Aszx5000 (talk) 23:13, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
Overhaul of article
[edit]I was planning on overhauling this article (tagged since 2008). There is too much text (and most of it unreferenced) when there are already standalone articles on the individual equipment items; we just need to summarize and link to them. In addition, we could broaden this out to cover (and link to) the wider climbing equipment fields (e.g. ice tools). Aszx5000 (talk) 12:44, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- I am going to re-structure these are bullet-points to link to the main articles (rather than whose sub-sections that just repeat content from the main articles). Also taking out some of the photos but will restore images when the structure is done. Aszx5000 (talk) 14:51, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- I have cut out the bulk of the NPOV/unreferenced text and stripped it down to a more readable format. I have checked WP for rock climbing equipment articles to ensure that everything in linked to here. I will now start to build up the referencing in the article, and use the best books in this area, over the next few days. Will re-do lede and add some better images at the end.

- Done this now. Aszx5000 (talk) 18:30, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Proposal to move tricams to the "Passive" Section
[edit]Although its true that tricams have an "active" and a passive mode" so do hexes? Like you can put a hex face first into a consticting crack or in a parallell crack you can rely on their toqueing action to keep them in place. they still have no moving parts and are pulled into place by the forces acting on them. Tri cams are (conceptually) the same thing, they are a piece of metal that gets stuck when you pull on it. Tamoraboys (talk) 11:02, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- +1 no problem with that - always felt they were more passive than active (good to clarify that they have an "active" use). thanks. Aszx5000 (talk) 11:24, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
