It has been determined that there are two types out there a cast version and a bent rod version.

The cast version have been forming cracks whilst under normal loading which is a great concern. The one tested below failed at 169kgs!! and was located on a popular route in the Blue Mountains. If you see any of the Cast variety on any anchors please check them thoughally before use and if possible remove them or tell someone else who can remove them for you. See the image belwo for how to identify them.

If you bought a captive wire gate lower off from us please contact us so we can determine if they were the cast version and organise for their removal and a refund to you

Well its that time of year again, Easter, the date that climbing conditions start to improve and the friction starts to increase. Hopefully you all have some grand plans for the Easter weekend / holidays. In order to get you some gear before you go (rather than after you get back like most Easter sales) we are having a pre Easter sale. Starting from now and going until Friday March 20ish we are offering 22% off all of our online prices. As usual the discount is being offered to our mailing list customers in advance of placing it on our website (although feel free to pass it on). The discount code you need to use is:

easter_bunny_09

this code is entered into the discount code box found on the 2nd page of the checkout process.

Its been a busy time at Climbing Anchors. We have jointly purchased the climbing hold manufacturer Uncarved Block which is back online at www.uncarvedblock.com.au and have been working on getting it back to its former self.

We have also just received a new shipment of bolts and other hardware from Fixe in Spain and are working on a new Tendon rope order (if there is a specific rope you would like us to get like a 173m 10mm Dynamic now is the time to ask) to be finalise din the next few days.

Have a great Easter.

If you would rather not receive these sporadic emails in the future just reply with unsubscribe and ill take you straight off the list

Cheers

Steve
