Back in the '80s, I can't recall seeing any chains, nor remember anywhere they would be needed. Anyone know when they were installed?

Grabeach, I'll let you know what I find as I research this more.

It's just a short section - a length of chain and a couple of spikes - in a steep crack coming down the first tier of cliffs from Folly Point. Nothing particularly tricky from memory, but I've only been through that way a couple of time and neither of those recently.

The chain was definitely there last time (c2004). Can't remember the first time clearly (c1991) but I think it was there then too.
