Can anyone recommend a manufacturer of a sand filled type groung anchor. Obviously needs to have rated attachements? I have a number of options but would prefer some feedback on them.

Do you mean a ballast bag? Attachment points for these aren't usually rated as such, because they aren't suitable for direct belaying.

Try these guys, they've never made anything which wasn't bombproof, and I'm sure Adrian would tell you how strong the attachments are if that was important: http://www.aiguillealpine.co.uk/cgi-bin/trolleyed_public.cgi?action=showpro...

In reply to MGrock: There are two sorts in use at walls here - both with 4 long straps to belay off. They invariably get used without all four straps clipped and consequently the stitching holding the straps to the side of the bags rips.
