Hi guys, FYI - placed some fixed biners, replaced some old fixed gear, removed some old tat etc...
Fruehauf anchors: (did this a while ago so most of you will already have seen/used the new stuff)
- replaced the steel chain and ring above 'General Benefit' with a 316 Stainless Steel chain and two fixed biners of same dimension
- replaced the chain above 'Play Launch' with a 316 Stainless Steel chain and two fixed biners
Sphinx anchors:
- replaced fixed biner (perma-draw) at the anchor of 'Short, Sharp and Shit Scared' with a 316 Stainless Steel fixed chain and biner (still have the old quickdraw, whoever placed it in the first place can have it back, though I definitely recommend not climbing on it anymore)
- replaced old fixed sling at anchor of 'Shot, Sharp and Shit Hot' with a 316 Stainless Steel fixed chain and biner (sling was worn 2/3rds the way through)
- placed two 316 stainless steel fixed biners on stainless steel maillons and chain links on the two U-bolt shared anchor of 'The Pie Man' and 'The Fear Factory'
Curry Cliffs rap-station (Bruny Island):
- Replaced the old tat-station above 'Tandoori' with 4 metres of 316 stainless steel chain linked with a 316 stainless steel maillons connecting the chain ends
- placed new permanent chain
- removed old tat (45l backpack full of old tat)
- removed all other tat atop the Curry Cliffs
*All chains, maillons and fixed carabiners are stainless steel - fixed carabiners used are the Climbing Technology ones available here http://www.climbinganchors.com.au/products/climbing-technology-captive-bar-stainless-steel-wire-gate
Wherever I placed one of the above fixed biners I used a maillon and chain to build something similar to a steel quickdraw connected to the original bolts.
More to come soon,
Cheers,
Tommy
Happy Climbing Everyone!!
