Hey all!

I have a 2 m-high I-beam spanning the width of my garden, and I thought it could be useful for training.

I was planning on getting 3–4 cheap Delta quick links and using 40–50 cm slings to attach them to the beam. I was wondering, though, if I could replace the slings with 6 mm cord? I’d probably make a couple of loops and finish them with a suitable knot.

Ideally, I’d like to leave the setup outdoors year-round, including through rain and snow in winter. Would 6 mm cord be suitable for this, or would slings be a better option?

I don’t own ice axes yet, as I’m still a very very novice ice climber. A close friend has an older pair of Nomics Quarks and some wooden training axes that he’s willing to let me use. I’ll try training with those for a while and then decide whether it’s worth getting a pair of training axes myself. I'm a decent boulderer and indoor rockclimber but yeah Ice climbing which is one of kt goal disicplines.

What do you guys think?

Is there a name for a manoeuvre where a helicopter is flying low, then does a pedal turn then immediately descends the couple meters of altitude and then lands?
So like a pirouette while keeping momentum in the direction it was originally going then landing.

Like a figure skater skating torwards point A, then turns on herself so she’s facing away from point A but still has a bit of momentum from her movement towards A, then sits down.

Im assuming not all helicopters would be able to do that, you’d need sufficient power and control authority

I do it pretty often in my helicopter game, hopefully on day I can try in real life.

From what I've researched online, hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide are the two molecules that will whiten teeth without it being pure abrasion.

I'm considering buying 3% hydrogen peroxide from my local grocery store to whiten my teeth. For application, either swishing my mouth with a 1 part H₂O₂ to 1 part water solution, or applying H₂O₂ with a Q-tip to my teeth, or I could just swish it around as a mouthwash for a minute. What is the best/safest?

As for frequency, should 2 to 3 times a week be safe?

Thank you very much!
