From your website
"A dynamic climbing rope must be designed to absorb enough energy so that the maximum force on an 80 kg. (180 lb.) climber in a factor 2 fall is not more than 12 kn. (2698 lb.). The maximum force on a top anchor could approach 19.9 kN or 4475 lbs."
God damn all I said was build the anchor to withstand 4496lbs and you'll be fine. Shit if you dont want to be safe fine with me, do whatever the fuck you want!
I couldn't find that part.
Ok, I found that part. I still think its wrong, and they don't explain how it could be true.

I found that a couple of times, but...
