Snow anchors: how strong are they?

The ENSA equipment testing department studied the strength of different types of snow anchor commonly used by mountain climbers, skiers and rescue workers: snow-stakes, ice-axes, skis, ski poles…etc.
These are known as deadman anchors.
The results suggest that the angle at which a deadman is placed, significantly affects its holding power.

ENSA Chamonix, would you make these tables accessible to us mountaineers to learn from and expand on? Different snow conditions, gradual or shock loading, etc.

i cant believe the plastic bag and coke bottle were far superior than an ice axe at 25 deg.

[@purplemonkeyelephant]

I like how the Coke bottle rates higher than the snow bollard.

Where can we found the tables of the tests you did, could you put the link bellow the video? Thanks for publish it, the video is really interesting. Greetings from Ecuador

It would also be good to know whether these different tests were shock loaded or just a gradual increase in force from the winch

[@jrnknustad9039]

It is not common to get your anchor shock loaded when you rappel.

Proper testing! Great video! I'm subbing!

[@ruanpretorius2679]

Great work, can we please have access to some excel data?

[@AustinCousineauEE]

Merci pour cette superbe vidéo informative. Pourriez-vous partager les données / tableaux de test qui en résultent?

[@chriswitter8067]

So... Instead of a snowbollard, we should be rigging a couple of equalised drinks bottles?! Crazy data... I feel like we need some elaboration...

[@owensilitch1938]

Like the previous comments is there any way to see all of the data from the tests?

[@ludovicgiambiasi]

Merci pour ces tests et la vidéo. Où pourrait-on se procurer le résultat complet des tests ? Merci !

[@professorsogol5824]

I would like to know how that plastic bag was rigged. Could we have a demonstration?

[@chiaraiodice4254]

Habituée à vos m’aider de vos tutoriels, je suis assez déçue de ne voir que des versions anglaises... des sous-titres français ne sont même pas disponibles. Dommage pour une institution française; le vocabulaire étant tout de même technique les sous-titres seraient appréciés !
Merci quand même pour les vidéos précédentes de super qualité et surtout très utiles.

I’m here because of the Frozen movie 😂😂😂

[@cagerefuerzo8649]

Me too. 😅

[@dreaming_blue1576]

Barely watching it years later, and doing the same thing.

[@tibbsracer]

So fucking funny, I’m here from frozen too. Never thought I’d immediately find a group of like minded people because of frozen and skiing, and it made me laugh immediately when I saw your comment. Thanks for that 🤘
