- thenobsta 3y agoI took a self-rescue course and a list at the end of their handout had such good engineering tips that I shared it with my eng team. Lots to be learned about engineering from climbing/mountaineering. The list was something like the following: A few pro-tips: - Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast. - Simplicity/speed/efficiency is good. - Strong is good. Redundancy is good/better. - Equalization and Extension are a trade off. - Not everything is a nail so NOT every tool is a hammer. - Tools that have multiple uses are good.
