Is there a future for pegs in British climbing?
Posted by Dan Middleton, BMC Technical Officer on 18/12/2008
"Should we continue to use pegs as semi-permanent anchors, or is it time to retire them from active service? "
If you climb in the alpine pins are still a part of life and likely will continue to be for a long time. Some thoughts on pins in the link below worth considering courtesy of the BMC Technical Office:

"The alpine" - is 'alpine' not an adjective to be followed by a noun, rather than a noun preceded the definite article? Then again you crazy Yanks can talk about pants without giggling excessively, so what do I know. ;-)
Happy New Year!
I didn't know that a certain amount of rust buildup on a 'pin' would increase it's holding strength?
Interesting article.
