Thanks for the link the to Wiki page. If you got 2 climbers(200kg) and put them on a trianlge rigged like in the wikipedia page. You'd could load the anchors to 140% of the load each. 280kg, as the MBS of most bolts is around 2200kg, although the load could be easily reduced, it would be about 1/8th of the MBS.
would work, does work, but could be easily improved. |
