Preliminary report on the St Savvas (Kalymnos) anchor, which failed with lethal consequences on 27th March 2026

Suprise: it's not sulphide stress cracking mediated by sulphate reducing bacteria!

Petzl Gougon 10 mm from 2000-2005 should be treated as high risk until we have better data. It might be a bad batch. They might have been used in other crags.

Mountains are entities

Mountains are entities; you get to climb them, but you can’t conquer them. Put your arrogance aside. You can never beat a mountain into submission. If I summit it’s because I was in the right place at the right time.

Go simply

Training prepares your body and, most important, your mind for ascent through consistent, hard, disciplined practice.

Go simply, train smart, climb well.
