We had a few climbs put up a number of years ago with Mike's setup as above and had a few problems. Firstly the U's were made to big and if you flicked your rope the right way it was possible to have your draw back clip itself off the U bolt, as the draw spins to one side and flicked back the gate hits the other side of the U. The other problem was that the top shackle had to be removed (or may have been stolen) and now we are left with an anchor that twists the hell out of your rope when lowering off.
Best solution (In my Opinion) is two normally place U bolts, one slightly higher than the other and have a twisted shackle on the top one. Or even better use a Fixe anchor with the free spinning bull ring on the hanger, but they cost a fortune. |
