> Will parks let us anchor to the BOTTOM of the railings on The Horn?

No. Unfortunately use of any part of the railings is not permitted. I would also like to think if anyone was
using any sort of railing they should always anchor as close to the rock (the BOTTOM) as possible to
minimise the load placed on it anyway. I too don't find fences placed for my safety attractive at all but
being a climber we tend to be aware of the dangers of cliffs and the importance of falling off them safely
(?) the same can't always be said of other Park users. I personally would simply like to get the engineers
specification amended so that it states it's strong enough, because as I think someone has already
pointed out, it is! Like most constructions now being built within Parks boundaries they are built to
wilthsand a nuclear blast because of the litigation issue. I just hope some sort of common sense will
prevail. Lastly I would just like to thank those of you out there who have been supporting me.
