mugger Explanation: Using Soonthoon's helpful clues, I found the following: http://smhc.co.uk/objects_item.asp?item_id=32562 I thought it would simplify matters if I included a photograph of my own nailing, which experience has shown to be satisfactory for ordinary fell walking. Any well-known maker of climbing boots will, on request, nail them to this pattern, which is as follows: Three No. 6 Tricouni round the toe of each boot. Clinker in pairs round both edges of the sole. Large muggers well distributed over both sole and waist. No. 1 Tricouni near each edge of the waist. Malleable serrated capping on the front edge of each heel. Overlapping clinkers on the rim of the heel, and also spaced singly round the sides of the heel. One mugger in the centre of each heel. See p. 42 of the following PDF: http://archimer.ifremer.fr/doc/1940/publication-7341.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day14 hrs (2011-01-31 01:04:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- See p. 4 of the following PDF: http://www.ulgmc.org/History/files/page16_1.pdf See p. 8 of the following PDF: http://www.climbers-club.co.uk/journal/original/1984 Journal... OED definition #5 for mugger (n.): "A nail, usually of soft iron, used in the soles of mountaineering boots to improve durability and grip. Following the introduction of cleated rubber soles in or around the 1950s, these and other types of boot-nail fell out of use. 1941 C. F. Kirkus Let's go Climbing! v. 68 For the inner part of the sole muggers, rough wrought iron hobnails, are excellent. 1970 A. Blackshaw Mountaineering (rev. ed.) iii. 99 Soft iron nails which grip as a result of the rock biting into them (muggers and clinkers). 1992 W. Unsworth Encycl. Mountaineering (ed. 2) 236 Hobs gave way to muggers, which were of soft iron like the hobs and allowed the rock to bite into them." |
