Mid-week climb in Adelaide? 20-Apr-2008 At 9:03:52 AM foreverabumbly

the bollards are huge, its not uncommon to see multiple topropes off the one bollard and they get tested every year. But if your still worried, on most climbs you can tie off to two if you wanted - the bollards are set around about 5 metres from the edge of the cliff - though they can be a bit closer or further than than that, the most common way of setting up is to use a static rope. cordelettes are usually too short and the tape running over a 90 degree angle on sharpish rock dosnt sit well with my stomach.

the static is tied to the bollard, run over the edge with a few biners apposed and run back up to the bollard, the climbing rope is threaded through the biners. so you do use two anchors, just tied off to the one place.
