Like being 15m above your last bit of pro about to clip a carrot and slipping on a wet patch. Come down/up to Booroomba if you want to see removable, sheared, sagging and rusty carrots. The standard bolt plate, the type we all use is very lucky to stand up the 20kn, it just tears the top out of the plate. Remember two 80kg climbers will put 16kn or so force on the bolt, bolt plate combination leaving not a lot of room to spare.
