There seems to be a "common knowledge" that residual rope strength with standard knots is about 2/3 in slow pull but about 1/2 in shock loading. A quick search did not get me test data to support this. Can anyone direct me to data to support this idea? Thanks.Re: Ansel Adams Carlsbad Caverns photos
In 2007, the NSS granted $5,000.00 to the Cavern Arts Project, a project of the Carlsbad Caverns Guadalupe Mountains Association, to assist in their efforts to preserve and exhibit the cave art collection at Carlsbad Caverns National Park, which included Ansel Adam's prints of Carlsbad. The collection is now displayed at CCNP.The NSS also supported publication of the related book "Visions Underground," which is available in the NSS Bookstore
