This bolt hanger with 2 rings is designed for abseiling. The two rings ensure that the lower ring is at a 90° angle to the rock. This means that the climbing rope runs through without friction.
The lug is a 3mm thick model made of AISI 316l steel with a 10mm hole. The rings are 10mm thick and have a welded seam. They also have an internal diameter of 31mm.
If you want to secure an abseiling point redundantly with two anchor points, you’ve come to the right place!

Why not an entire stand?
The bolt hanger with 2 rings is a great alternative to a climbing anchor in several situations. Firstly, in alpine terrain when you want to save weight when setting up.
Secondly, if you want to set up rappelling slopes where there is a lot of rappelling. This is because the upper ring is stressed by being attached in series. If this should become a little worn at some point, the straps can be swapped again. This means that the entire stand does not have to be replaced.
And thirdly, it makes sense to use two separate fixed points as abseiling points. Namely, if the rock quality does not allow you to install a climbing anchor. This can be the case, for example, in hollow places, brittle rock, etc. Read our article“What do expansion bolt hold?”.
Bolt hanger with 2 rings – made of AISI 316L stainless steel
Due to the steel quality, this bracket may only be installed with A4 steel expansion bolt. This is because zinc plated bolts lead to galvanic corrosion.
Are you not familiar with this? Then you should definitely read the article“Galvanic corrosion at expansion bolt“. This electrochemical principle is explained in detail there. Avoid rusting through the expansion bolt and always use the same steel quality for all components!
