More slackline anchors 21-Mar-2013 At 2:51:47 PM hotgemini

Message

As much as it frustrates me with a new usergroup coming into an area and behaving in an inconsiderate way, I wonder whether it's worth considering a more pragmatic approach.

Eg. If we take it as given that we're not going to be able to get slackliners to adopt using trad anchors where available, rather than continue down the path of random hardware installation, chopping, reinstallation, etc.

Would it be more pragmatic to identify a selection of preferred highline sites and install appropriately robust and over-engineered anchors, so as to negate any desire from highliners to keep randomly scattering more bolts in every time a new group visits?

I'm 2000km away and certainly not going to be actioning these thoughts any time soon, but thought I'd put it out there as a discussion starter at least.
