I've been working on this design for some time now. It will revolutionise ice climbing

Might find it a spot dicey on overhanging stuff though

I like the pizza cutter on his knee , presumably for use in the summit cafe?

Will this be adjustable for different arm lengths? To prevent short armed people from having their face ripped off by the returning picks.

Unfortunately these things take time to develop. I estimate they should be available for the 2017 winter season. At the mo, it's just a prototype built from a Bosch belt sander. I managed to climb Green Gully last year in around twelve seconds. I'm now working on voice activation - the louder you scream, the slower it goes.
I'm still waiting on replies from all the big gear manufacturers, but it's only a matter of time. It's a no-brainer

I have a feeling it would amuse the people at DMM if you emailed it to them.

Where do you plug it in? If, however, it runs on AA batteries then I'm in!

Biggest advance in climbing technology since the bolt gun in Cliffhanger (@ 09:15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seluTSIqoQ4).

Brilliant Jamie. The funniest post I've seen for ages, and if you did the drawing yourself you should be even more pleased.

Funny as in, funny no-one's thought of it before? Yes I agree, it is funny

That must be the climbing sketch of the year! Made us all laugh and very nicely executed - a classic bit of humour!
