hey guys just wondering what your thoughts are about home made portaledges and especially the krustyledge featured on rockclimbing.com?

http://www.rockclimbing.com/Articles/Big_Wall-Aid_Climbing/How_I_built_my_Krustyledge_for_under_100_you_can_too__65.html

is using PVC a little to weak for strength of a portaledge? or is it totally safe and im just being paranoid?

does anyone have any good designs they are willing to share or photos of their ledges?

thank you and safe climbing

The link was no good so I couldn't see it but if you're looking for home made ledge info check out bigwalls.com. There's a whole right up thread in the forums by Minindorf (sp?).

I'm in the process of building one right now. It's been an ongoing project that's been interupted many times.
