Multicore Holders/Hooks

[fogg]

Hi, now I am not sure if anyone makes something like this but I thought it might be worth asking if anyone know of any removable hooks for multicores? I often do venues where it would be really usefull to have some kind of hook that could be held onto a wall by some sort of suction pad so I could keep the mutlicore off the floor. Is there anything on the market like this?

Canford Audio may still do "Sky Hooks". A range was available, but I don't remember suction pads.

Haha, yes I thought that may be the answer I got! Nevermind it was worth a shot.

Not hooks but we use something like these you can usually find something to wrap it around

What about These

[Simon Lewis]

S hooks (yup Canford do sell these - along with a bracket), long cable ties, screwhooks, safety chains etc. are all useful

I guess you are looking for something like this . Don't know whether you can get larger sizes, this may be OK for multicore

 

Incidently sky hooks are a real product, but don't work via suction - maybe worth looking at though

 

I am sure you will find a 'glass hammer' on ebay too!!

Flints sell them too. Different design though.

The Flints sky hook is a piece of climbing equipment. Very scary to use.

mm, all the sky hooks appear to just fall straight out on the first fall!

The sky hook wasn't on the rock still. It was just the small peg he hammered in. Aid climbing is a very odd form of climbing where the gear is used to help you progress, it may hold your weight but wont take a fall.

 

Saying that, I've known someone to use chewing gum to keep a sky hook in place as he climbed past it. It stayed in place though he never fell on it to give it a proper test.

 

Back on topic. Why not just use a piece of rope? Tie it round the multicore then tie it to the nearest suitable object on the wall?
