is this 23c/69 pre-Herschel climber known?

[C28]

is this a new climber, or has it been discovered already?

1) Use [​c​ode][/code] tags please.
2) Post these questions in the thread for basic questions (General Discussion).
3) T=1 shows that it's perfectly fine as a Herschel climber.
4) Probably not, but your average crawler isn't very useful anyways.
5) Why is there a semicolon at the end?

sorry!

4) Probably not, but your average crawler isn't very useful anyways.

On the contrary, I think that that climber is more useful than most climbers because it is orthogonal instead of oblique, so it can be used in two orientations, and its simplified speed is c/3, so we can use it with c/3 spaceships. Of course, since its speed is faster than c/4, we'll have to make the blocks by sending XWSSes up. Does anyone know a way to make a block by crashing an XWSS into a c/3 spaceship's back spark?

It was discovered by Nicolay Beluchenko in 2006:

well i'm not suprised, considering how easy it is to make

[dvgrn]

I'd call this a fuse rather than a "climber" -- see Herschel-pair climber, pi climber.

A climber has to have something to climb. This fuse does follow a trail of blocks, but then it fails to leave the same trail of blocks behind itself. That's the second requirement for a climber reaction, and that's why such reactions are relatively rare and hard to find.
