Design and performance of ropes for climbing and sailing [PDF]
, 2006 Ropes are an important part of the equipment used by climbers, mountaineers, and sailors. On first inspection, most modern polymer ropes appear similar, and it might be assumed that their designs, construction, and properties are governed by the same ...

Mechanical loading of primate fingers on vertical rock surfaces
South African Journal of Science, 2021 Mechanical loading of finger bones (phalanges) can induce angular curvature, which benefits arboreal primates by dissipating forces and economising the recruitment of muscles during climbing.
