Stainless steel AISI 316L versatile belay station (WITH Ø10mm HANGER).

Composed of: 1 Rock Ø10 mm ( art. 110), 1Long chain and 1 Round ring Ø10 mm (art. 177)

• There are many situations where for various reasons the placement of a belay station is not positioned in the ideal situation.
• For example the rock may not be ideal, perhaps because of morphology or consistency, or the rope touches the rock below the rock in the abseil path etc.
• This belay station is designed to allow the placement of a Ø10 mm bolt hanger in the ideal spot whilst the long chain (composed of three links of a total length of L= 40cm) allows the abseil ring to act from another position, conveniently placed in the line of the anchor.
• Any problems of flex generated by jerks to the links are eliminated by the strength of the material used (AISI 316L stainless steel).

Details:

• ATTENTION: It is still important to back up the bolt hanger with a second anchor to guarantee safety.
• This can be done through various systems, some of which are described below:
  • a) connect using an additional length of chain and a 8mm maillon.
  • b) connect to a secondary anchor using a strong piece of cordage.
  • c) connect to a secondary anchor using our handy connection KIT, specifically designed for this use (see art. 544 and 545). 
• The live rope for abseiling must be inserted through the ring. However there is nothing to prevent using an additional (screw gate) carabiner to facilitate easier clipping.
• A very practical belay station at a low cost.
• From 2013 the material used in the majority of our anchors is now stainless steel AISI 316L, which offers a higher resistance to marine corrosion than the former AISI 304. To highlight this change each article is stamped with the relevant symbols.
• We recommend reading the attached PDF document for a detailed explanation of the problems presented by marine corrosion.
