First Bluetooth speaker ever, dedicated to climbers, easily to be attached to your carabiner. Connect to your phone via Bluetooth and listen your sick music whilst you stuck to the wall up there. Otherwise just insert your miniSD for a long routes and source tones of songs out of it.
No more alone on the wall. Even Alex Honnold would grab one.

I was hoping this was a joke. We really, really, do not need speakers on climbers. The crags are already crowded and noisy. If you need to listen to music while you climb, rather than enjoy the sounds of nature, at least use headphones so you do not subject others to your crappy music.

Relax, dude. Everyone knows that tinny music is an integral part of the wilderness experience.

Sorry, but that speaker is too small. I need something loud enough to be heard over all the "TAKEs" and "ARRRGs". When I go to the crag, I prefer something like this to blast my Maroon 5 to:



If I dont need a megaphone to communicate with my belayer and a diesel generator to power my amps, the sending music is not loud enough.

It's actually designed that only you can hear the the speaker, since you got it clipped to your harness, all the sound is coming towards you only (means up), which minimize disturbing of others. Btw would you really climb with headphones? But thanks for your thoughts

what a horrible idea...

Make it even easier for the gymrats to annoy the piss out of everyone else...

Blatant advertising gets you banned from MP, so we won't be hearing back from Martin... but this is so much fun to mock, I'm going to leave the original post alone just for it's entertainment value.

LOL classic...

with a name like the nipple it sounds like it should be a sex toy.

Hey Martin - Is that Maroubra Beach, Australia?

I'll hold the snarky comments because I'm sure my fellow MP'ers will keep the flames alive.

If someone starts playing music on one of these God damn things I sware to god I will be furious. If you really want to climb to music put headphones in.

And then what will you do, have stern words and a grumpy demeanor? Sometimes I turn on my smartphone and listen to music, would your butthurt rage until you threw down or would you quietly pout like a child? I'd probably tell you to kick rocks just to see if you're willing to fight a grown man over music.

The best application for this would be to hang it somewhere difficult to access and blast some classical/opera.

Now THAT'S an interesting assertion. How much you want to bet that Mr. Honnold didn't give permission to have his name/likeness attached to this device?

The only question I have is...

What carabiner is used to clip the nipple? Looks nice.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
