Clipping To P-Bolts

[damian]

Pretty sure the JH one was a P, it looked that way from the video I saw from the guy who reported it.

According to JennyP, it wasn't:

... It was reported on 14th. September that on the alternative route for Leviathan, one of the last bolts for the main Y-hang for the descent (the furthest left) was loose.  This resin bolt came out the rock when it was later checked by DCA installers and it was found not to be a DCA-installed Eco anchor; instead it was one of a series of spits and resin bolts installed by persons unknown some time ago. ...

Ah, had missed that post. Cheers for the correction, took it as read from my mate that it was a P.

Personally, as a best practice thing, I'd only be clipping to a P bolt if I needed to position myself and ONLY if the other cowstail was in a more dynamic part of the system, i.e. the loop of a knot.

Quoted for truth.

I hope that was not you pictured on the back on the CNCC rigging guide volume 2 then!
