[Hide Comment] May want to update this entry, there are actually bolted anchors on top, with chains. They are past the roof up a short slabby section. Also, the crack can take up to #1 at one point. It's probably safer to put a sling around the horn sticking out sideways at the top of the roof since if you slip getting out of the roof you'll be hitting the slab pretty hard. Apr 15, 2013
