How's your friend's face? Did he have to downclimb the route or could he top it out through the ventilation system after the anchor came off?

That's a pretty solid anchor...but in the spirit of wanting to improve, next time if I were you, I'd back it up with a yellow lab in that off width, right below the plunger...and then I'd use a toy biner to tie it all together with.
:twisted:

First off, that webbing isn't tied off evenly. You should do a better job so the load is distributed to both loops of webbing. In addition, I'm not really a fan of single-point anchors. While the plunger looks pretty bomber, I'd like to back it up with some webbing threaded through the grate on the ceiling.

Overall it looks good. Judicious use of webbing and a biner. If I were you I would adjust your plunger slightly though. It appears to be slightly underplunged, and that might be a non-load bearing wall.

Oh, there's nothing better than single, multi-directional anchors.

You must mean the Abner Louima anchor. Amadou was shot 40+ times by NYPD for flashing a wallet.

Sadly b_fosts friend had to be carted off to hospital to have the toilet plunger removed from his face. As you can see b_fost had to effect some first aid with duct tape to prevent unnecessary movement of the toilet plunger so that the surgeons would have a chance to remove it surgically.

Depends....
Is that a booty plunger or d'ya get it new your self? Never trust a used piece of gear exspecially one with a dubious history and used as your single piece of pro.

i don't know how so many of you can say this is a good anchor! This obviously won't work!! You need to back this kind of anchor up at least two more times. Or with at minimum one more. I think you could stick a #.75 cam in the vent, then equalize with the world renown american triangle. Then I would use that anchor! :roll:
Great pic. Just keep trying and you will be as good at anchor setting as the rest of us. You're almost there, keep up the good work!!!! :lol:
