F.3.5.3 Rock features to be used as anchors should normally be part of the bedrock and should not exhibit any signs of fracturing or other defect that could cause their failure. Large boulders could be used if a risk assessment indicates sufficient integrity. The area at the back of a rock feature where any load would be applied by the anchor sling should have such characteristics that the anchor sling would not roll off it or be cut or badly abraded when in use, either during normal rope access activities or in the event of a fall. Sharp edges should be avoided or at least protected against. Dependent upon the precise use intended, consideration should be given to the possibility that the anchor sling might be inadvertently lifted off the rock feature during any upwards movement.a) Two small treesb) One large treeKey1 Two anchor slings, each with its own connectorFigure F.11 — Examples of trees being used as anchorages© IRATA InternationalAnnex F: Page 17 of 212013-Sep-01
