ECO ANCHORS MAINTAINED BY THE CSCC

All anchors should be checked before use. Checks To Do

Anchors that do not meet the tests should be reported to the bolting co-ordinator via email

Anchors in the CSCC region that are not listed below have not been placed by the CSCC and are therefore not covered by the anchor insurance scheme.

The BCA Anchor Placement Scheme was developed by the CNCC.  Information about the Scheme.

The rigging below is now not correct for the first pitch: The Y-hang is made of tape (to be replaced with chain) to pass below the buldge of rock below that is not stable. The remaining cave rigging is the same.

NB First 2 bolts are set in the concrete entrance cover. The bolts are therefore not covered by the BCA scheme. However, the CSCC has proof tested them with a load of 10KN instead of the usual 6KN.
