No. If I can I tend to be rather (overly) cautious with anchors.

Can’t think of any that particularly stand out. Certainly there have been anchors that have given me cause to worry... but maybe that is just me. Sometimes you have to trust the available fixed gear and other times there’s not as much time, gear or possible placements as I’d like. I like about half a racks worth of anchors, then I can get on with it. Basically I’m aware there are enough traps in this game without taking unnecessary shortcuts with anchors.

The photo-fame rig is really safe though because you’re on a totally independent rap line (actually I haven’t used the frame for many years – it rarely helps).
