You can lower and top rope on them. It would take a lot to wear through them.
I see. But for top roping, building my own (extended) anchor still often makes better sense because it makes the rope run smoother over the rock. But for Foreplay, I'll probably just use the mussy hooks next time. Will give that a try.
These chains and mussy are fine on this climb. But in a general sense, I wonder if there is any downside in using chain links with bigger eyeholes (is that the right word?). Either bigger links in size or skinnier in diameter. If nothing else, one without an adjustable PAS can clip into any link for the optimal length when they need to anchor themselves. Just wondering out loud. Feel free to ignore.
P.S. Cold drizzle in the morning and gusty wind in the afternoon at the Pinns today, but seeing Mr. Mud's weather up in WA, I'm not going to complain. In case my post confuses anyone, my name is actually not Karen.
