Hi, Monique bought this down from Coolum Cave:-

I'm breaking it this afternoon, any guesses for the breaking load. I forgot to look at the rating (probably 22 kN) but I'm guessing 90% of whatever the rating is. Your guess?

If said biner was originally red, 69.3%: purple 71%.

If said biner was another color; 32.985%

Was the sling hanging there as well? I bet that breaks at a lot less than the biner

The gate looks like it isnt sprung into the flesh hook so 9kn (which is bomber) otherwise 18kn if gate is good. Sling 14kn

Where's it going to break?
The hook wit the rope marks looks quite worn.
Otherwise as mentioned the wire gate could pop

My guess is that it breaks at one Eduardo - so it's bomber.

I'll raise U half an Eduardi as long as it comes with a log book authenticating itz use, an even then I'd only rack it as a leaver.

Yeah gate looks strange to me too.
Lottery as to whether it remains captive as it is loaded.
