My Flickr account was deleted a few years back which is why the pictures aren't there anymore... I found a load more the other week so will scan and upload sometime.

Knee pads on Hubble...and bolts on the Keyhole Cave. Pfffft!  Glad I live in London and don't have to talk about it at the crag or in the pub.

Technically it's good news though FD as nobody has managed Hubble with the knee bar and the Millstone bolt has already been chopped.  :beer2:

Wish I'd been flying back from Oz a day later.. I'd have missed the whole lot!

Cool thread. I always thought that the controversy about using knee pads would disappear as soon as Moon release a kneepad and made them acceptable. It would be funny if a Moon kneepad made Hubble easier.

I want to be there when you pitch the idea of the "Hubble Downgrader" to Ben

I would like to know in how many hours McColl didn't do Hubble.  :tease:

I suggested this (not Hubble specific) and was told it was probably best left to boot manufacturers.

Just pretend it's the latest Tracy Emin installation at the white cube / alternative space de jour and you'll be beating the birds off with a shitty stick

A more appropriate product for Moon might be the "Malc Smith anti-jessery kneepad".  Non-articulated, cast-iron construction, combines the training benefits of a weight-belt with prevention of drop-knee based cheating.
