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.

Speaking of #Bolting, I'll be moving the lettuce and other greens over to the shadier side for the next few days. I don't want them to succumb to the same fate as the #RedCabbage!

#Bolting: Why Vegetable Plants Bolt & How to Deal With It
Published on March 17, 2024
By Melissa J. Will"What is bolting?
We use the term bolting when a vegetable produces flowering stems before we’ve had a chance to harvest the crop. We say 'my lettuce has bolted' to mean it has shifted from vegetative growth to its reproductive stage and is no longer savory as a food crop. It will likely taste bitter and unpleasant.
"Along with lettuces, other vegetables and herbs that can bolt are non-fruiting food crops we grow for their edible roots, stems, or leaves. This includes basil, broccoli, radish, and more. There is a list here.
"There is nothing abnormal about flowering and producing seed—that’s basic survival through reproduction for plants. It’s the timing that’s the problem for the gardener when the end goal is food growing."

Well boo. My #RedCabbage *might* be bolting. I'm sure all the weather changes contributed to the process. Once #Bolting starts, it cannot be stopped. So, I'll collect the seed and start a new batch (these were obtained from a local farmstand as seedlings, not started from my seed).
