Hi
On a recent trip through, I noticed rope wear on some of the existing anchors.
This week I had another trip through with Sam A to have a proper look. (No blood was spilt
)
A number of anchors showed significant signs of wear, some of these are on short pitches (4m) although the ones on Slit Pot are possibly the most worn.
(It also became apparent that all 5 anchors on Slit Pot require replacement due to either been worn or loose)
We replaced a couple of the worn anchors and Sam has done a detailed analysis of them and produced his findings on a very nice technical document. (Attached)
The anchor team are in discussion to decide on a plan.
Thanks to Sam for his company, valuable experience and input, it is very much appreciated.
