The lower off with ring is our absolute top seller. It consists of two 10mm bolt hangera super light chain and a 10mm abseil ring. This stand also has some cool features.
Firstly, it has the EN 795 standard for anchorage devices. Secondly, it has a very competitive price. Thirdly, an ideal weight for alpine routes.
Fourthly, it impresses with its AISI 316L steel quality. This makes the abseil anchor with ring extremely durable. It can be installed anywhere in the Alps.
So you can’t go wrong with abseil anchor!

lower off Switch in series with ring!
The abseil anchor with ring must be connected “in series”. This means that the two fixed points are only slightly offset horizontally. Vertically, however, they are strongly offset without fully tensioning the chain. Ensure the correct spacing of the expansion bolt of at least 3 x the anchoring depth (tear-out cone expansion bolt!).
Use the appropriate expansion bolt
The lower off with ring from Vertical Evolution is made of AISI 316L steel. Consequently, for the installation of the stand you must use 10mm expansion bolt of A4 steel (AISI 316 / 316L) to install the stand. This avoids galvanic corrosion at expansion bolt. This occurs when fixing to zinc plated expansion bolt. This must be avoided at all costs.
We recommend the expansion bolt from Fischer Befestigungstechnik: the Fischer heavy-duty anchor FBN II 10/10 A4 or FAZ II bolt anchor A4 steel

Observe borehole cleaning
The drilling holes for the lower off with ring should be cleaned appropriately. Firstly, use a drilling hole blow out pumb to do this. This removes the drilling dust. Then clean the hole at least once with a hole brush. This also removes the material from the wall of the hole. These two simple steps prevent the expansion bolt from “wandering”. Consequently, the bolt hanger of the abseil anchor with ring cannot become loose and twist.
