I started working on this a while back and finally have finished it out. A baby mobile made completely of climbing gear. My daughter will be placing bomber #9's before she can walk Baby's eye view: Don't worry, I promise not to become this guy: http://www.rockclimbing.com/..._reply;so=ASC;mh=25;

Yeah. I work in the industry and it was still expensive, I got a bit carried away. No link cam mobile for us - with the size of the slats in the crib she would be able to aid right up out of there. And my wife has strength tested those biners to an acceptable rating as she had the same concerns about baby catching the whole thing in the face. (At least I didn't go for Fusion wiregates huh?) Also, props to the guys at USA Bobsledding for welding the nut tools for me. I have no idea how to wield an acetylene torch.

Having your baby play with your nuts will prolly turn her into a sport climber and possibly a lesbian.

cool idea, but that photo looking up gave me the impression it could have come from a Tim Burton film.

You should carry that around at the crag. When a hiker asks, say you tie a rope to it, throw it up, and hope something catches. That's how the rope "gets up there".

That's classic. I had something like that when I was little, only my brothers made it and it had bats and rats and spiders hanging off of it. This and other forms of torture explain why I am the person I am today...

No Friends? That is now way to let a baby go through life. You shoukld be a more active pro parent than a passive pro parent.

I'm so disappointed that none of you folks came up with the most obvious joke: But I thought sport climbing was for Babies...
