sand looks a little suspect. I'd definitely back that up with a flounder or two.

Obviously they didn't tie it on with an 8-follow-through. Probably used something silly like a single non-locker on an overhand on a bight.

Sorry to send this to community. Hillarious thread too. Excellent play on words in view of the other recent anchor threads.

What was the likely direction of pull? I can't imagine a fall which would generate fall forces in that direction.

In reply to: I really didn't think clipping in was a cruicial part of an anchor...in the movies they just set up an anchor, don't clip it, and it holds them up. |

what do ya meen it failed.
I can't find any problems with anchoring into sand. I normally shove a few hexes in sand and their bomber.
i'd climb on it.
