Final Testing:
Britt and I tested the final
Eagle Claw at Castle Rock, a popular bouldering location. The
Eagle Claw performed well, but it did not seem well-suited for
these rocks, which had few food holds and required Britt to sometimes
press his foot against the smooth rock walls for a quick boost,
called "smearing." The sharp rubberized toes of the
Eagle Claw gripped rock ledges masterfully when these ledges were
available, but were incapable of providing a large, high-friction
surface for smearing. |

Product Reassessment
(document 3 of 3)
Click the link above to view a piece of
technical writing simulating the reassessment of the
Eagle Claw after it has been manufactured by Ossur Prosthetics
and put on the market for six months. It suggests improvment
for a potential set of second generation of Eagle Claws.
