Why we chose Hang Fix anchors in 2022

+ +

Martin Green coorindated a complete appraisal of anchors +for the 2020 expo, but Covid pandemic meant that it was 2022 before it was put into practice. We discussed the issues intensely for more than three years, and did experimental tests. +

Why change?

+ + +

Decision

+That we standardise on Raumer M8 Hang Fix anchors: M8 HANG FIX inox M8L (ØM8x78). + +We can change over to these through bolts for existing caves, as most +of our normal hangers can be used with them, by removing the rubber O-ring and the +bolt. This requires the nuts are left in situ, and that we do not have too many circlips +on our hangers. +
