I’m with Clay. And if you get enough points, your shirt magically vaporizes to show off your massive Italian man-pecs.

I am only getting this if it has the following two items.

1. BOLT GUN.
2. CO-op play were you try and catch your friend whose harness is some how falling apart and they you have to see how long you can hold them with one hand before they fall.

On belay? On stop?

Makes sense until someone tries translating it

Keep in mind that the press release was probably either written by a non-native speaker or translated from Japanese. The literal translation of what Japanese climbers call ropes may actually be “lifeline”. I know I experienced that a lot living in Germany, when I’d use a word that was the translation of the English technical term but was laughable to my German friends.

Uh… it says “lifElines,” not “lifTlines.” I’m not a rock climber, but have been to a climbing gym twice, so I might know a little more than the target audience. I would imagine “lifeline” would mean “climbing rope.” Still, I don’t know how that would translate.
