Vertical caving terminology and methods > Rigging methods and equipment
Any metal fixture that is put into the rock using glue, friction, screw threads or pressure, which ropes can be attached to directly (usually only for a backup or pull-through with a P-hanger), or via a carabiner or maillon. The most common anchors are P-hangers and through bolts, but spits are still regularly used in caves, especially on expeditions.
