I have been thinking of how valuable it would be to have practice anchors at the Cattle Call Wall area (specifically off to the side of Johnny Can't Lead). Years ago when learning to clean, it was extremely helpful for me to be able to use the practice anchors in the School Room Area at Maple Canyon. Just a few inches off the ground allowed me to simulate cleaning while another pair of eyes could watch and critique my process. Recently, I'm finding myself watching instructors teach others how to clean using simulated anchors. I think it would be very beneficial to have real chain anchors in a position that simulates the climbing experience. I have someone willing to install them and would like to provide them as a service to the climbing community. Looking for feedback; do you think this would be valuable?
No, that's not necessary. An instructor is able to walk around to the top of either Ow Now at Cattle Call or Garden Party at Gateway and directly observe and direct a student cleaning an anchor.
