I was reading Jared Ogden's Big Wall book and found some good info, one thing being the funkness test as an alternative to the standard bounce test. This seems like a brilliant idea, as it creates no unecessary force on the piece you are already on in the event that the tested piece fails. Has anyone utilized this on hard aid? Are there any significant shortcomings?
It seems to me that a standard bounce test would be more thorough, and there are several points where Ogden recommends using a regular bounce test (enough that I started to wonder why he had mentioned the funkness test in the first place). Still seems like a good idea though...
