| Diagram 8 Typical
Top Anchors w/Webbing at Cliff Top Note the visible impacts around the base of the trees including exposed roots, soil compaction, and vegetation loss. This is caused by climbers accessing the cliff top to install, and later remove the webbing anchor. The installation of top anchors could significantly reduce these impacts. The toprope can be seen running through the carabiner just over the edge of the cliff - this is the approximate location of where the top anchors could be positioned. |
