Part of a continuing series of looking at strength of anchors, gear, and knots. How strong is a belay loop? How about a rope after you stomp on it with a crampon? Can I trust that rappel anchor made with old, sun bleached webbing? Learn the answers to these and more.

cavernous, łódź, nov 2025 I had a previous shot from the same position (in Zatoka Sportu at the Lodz Polytechnic University) on here somewhere, but lately they decided to put that wall to the left in. esthetically not that ideal as previously the building felt light and airy, while now it feels cramped despite all the space. I assume it had more to do with the noise from either side of the wall though. #climbing #photography #monochrome #blackandwhite
