Description

The SandTrap is an advanced anchoring system that allows for a solid, reliable and retrievable anchor in many sandstone canyon environments. If you have sand, and a little bit of favorable geometry to work with, you can use this to create an anchor.

As an advanced anchor system, the SandTrap requires careful judgement, training and excecution to use safely. Practice will be required to get a feel for how much sand is required to produce a safe anchor. The SandTrap should be backed up every time until it has proven itself secure in the given circumstance. For this reason, it is suggested that the SandTrap will work better with sufficient people available to allow thorough testing of its security before the final person in your group rappels from it without a backup.
