Safety check at Green Climbers Home

This movie demonstrates that our anchor system is safe as long as the climber behaves correctly!

The routes are bolted with 10mm expansion bolts. Unlike as in the sea areas in Thailand, in Laos the expansion bolts offer a high standard of security. Each anchor has two bolts that are linked with a sling. In one of the bolts is a fixed screw gate carabiner or malion for belaying. Some climbers haven´t seen before the anchor system that we use in Thakhek and are wondering if the sling that connects the 2 anchor bolts is sufficient. Of course it is, otherwise we wouldn´t use this system. To satisfy even the biggest doubters we tested the shockload on the sling in case that one bolt false.

Please be aware that the medical care in Laos is not like western standards!

There is no ambulance that picks you up in case of an accident.
