Sorry, Trashie, but that was more than a little funny. I laughed so hard, one of my nuts torqued.

It's a good thing too, cause you'd be winning.

I found this on a website not on RC, but I'm posting it here anyway.
I present to you RETART HANDS:
It says:
You use climbing shoes to help you grip the rock and avoid foot fatigue/injury, chalk to reduce perspiration, and tape, why not slap on a pair of hydraulic hands and really give your climbing a boost? Imagine the possibilities? Just another tool in your climbing toolbox no? A team of scientists have developed a "mesofluidic" hand, with 25 moving parts, that can deliver 20 pounds of pinch force, or twice what your hand currently delivers. Plus, of course, it doesn't get tired:

Most climbers can apply a lot more than 20lbs of pinch force

This is incorrect, we don't all use tape... retart.
