J'escaladais à Yosemite l'été dernier et, pendant que j'étais à l'assurage, je discutais avec un groupe de Bozeman, Montana. Ils ont remarqué tout l'équipement proto sur mon rack et en ont déduit que j'étais de Black Diamond. Mon partenaire et moi, on a déguerpi (typique) et ils me regardaient comme un faucon. J'ai demandé ce qu'ils observaient, et ils ont répondu : « On veut voir comment le gars QA de BD rappe. » En particulier, ils lorgnaient sur mon noeud de rap.
Chaque type de nœud de rappel a ses avantages et ses inconvénients, mais est-ce qu'il y en a un qui soit plus résistant que les autres ? J'ai soumis les trois nœuds (dans trois scénarios différents de diamètre de corde) à une série de tests de traction improvisés et ci-dessous, tu trouveras quelques données de base sur leur résistance, basées sur mes tests limités des trois nœuds de rappel les plus courants. (Note : seulement deux points de données par configuration.)
