I had the thought of a creating a curated collection of some the best trip reports and calling 'Uncle Tricky's Bed Time Stories'. His story about his go around with the snafflehound in his cabin is pretty awesome, some TRs by Mike Layton are pretty classic and anything by Tvash or Ivan would make some great bathroom reading.

I can't help myself and comment on his anchor, which is clearly a work of art--if you're a Celtic knotsmith or some sort of mad engineer. The anchor consisted of 4 cams and 3 nuts each qualized with double clove hitches and backed up with a secondary anchor composed of two tricams, a hex, two RPs, a cordellete and four slings. Granted, I'm a fan of bombproof anchors, but this one could have survived a direct napalm airstrike followed by a nuclear holocaust and still held a factor 5 fall.
