Cave Anchors Made Out Of Dyneema???
🕑 Added 2022-08-29 13:01:04 +0000 UTCEARLY ACCESS
Bobby and John broke some cave anchors. They tested the Climbing Technology's Soft Anchors and also the homemade ones by Andrzej Rudkowski.
CT dyneema broke at 14kn and rethreaded with Max sk99 4mm broke at 16kn and in tension broke at 11kn.
Soft Shackle homemade anchor broke the metal round stock at 18kn, then the soft shackle at 23kn and then the bolt itself at 25kn but when pulled in tension, the soft shackle destroys the circle at 17kn.
Clown hangers broke the ropes first. Super good enough. I'm quite impressed how strong they are and would totally rappel on them.

Hmmm, just found out that they are no longer made and basically unobtainable.

Love this episode! So much caving stuff I heard about but never used personally. I think I will buy some Clown Hangers, as I have to permanently rig a cave this autumn.

I have never used those. I'm interested to learn more about them.
