Similar, although the DMM Eco Anchor IIRC was a single piece of metal folded into a P in effect with two stems. If that makes sense.

The Dmm Eco Anchor & Resifix 3 Plus (Info Supplied by CNCC Technical Group)

The Eco anchor is produced by DMM, in 8mm diameter 316 stainless steel, (which is also used for marine applications). It is then formed into a double 'P' shape, which requires a drilled hole of 18mm x l00mm deep.

my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

Those are the ones on the Coniston through trip. Is it still possible to get the resin ampoules that you just stick in the hole and smash with the anchor?

Yeah.. there are a number of different kinds of resin used in industry. Often it comes in the form of a 2 part self mixing tube. Its incredibly good stuff, but the drawback with u/g exploaration is that usually a period of time is required for the resin to fully set. No good for imatiant sods like me :lol:

Yes, they claim 1 hour - but 24 hours for safety.

It's not so bad if you have a big route already rigged and are putting these in as a regular route which is what we did at Coniston.

The cost is the killer at about £8 per anchor.
