Small anchor update - Hobart and surrounds

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!!
